What file are you editing for the footer?

Hi guys - is there a way that I can remove the "views" column from the discussion list?

Lincoln

Hi Owen, the easiest way is to use your Customize Theme option in the Dashboard to hide it with CSS, like so: .CountViews { display: none; } /* Hides Views column */

I"ve added this to your CSS, so you should be all set.
