so what's the better option? remove the links or remove the columns?
Removing the column is not supported in vb4 (due to the CSS design). The end goal is to remove the extra links. the column is a bit useless without the links, so removing the whole thing is sometimes the best case scenario, but as long as the extra links are gone, you're ok.

Brian, could you please elaborate on this a little bit? Is there really no way to remove the "Last Post" column entirely?
In my current live vB 3.8.4 forum I do not display that column to anyone, but I have not yet been able to remove the column from my test vB4 forum. I've been stuck on this one for three days now. I think this could be somehow achievable by modifications in the forumbits.css template, but I just don't yet know how.
Not via vbseo. You would need to custom code your template.
Due to divs and floats for each column in vb4, if you remove a div, the whole template falls apart.
I haven't looked into doing this manually, but i'm sure it's not easy.
once you remove the column, you need to re-do all the other columns floats and wrap containers as well so it stays in a group.

Thanks Brian, I think I finally figured out how to do it last night. It's working on the home of my test forum. I will now how to figured out how to remove more columns from thread pages. It's all seems like too much work now in vB4.
Nice mod I will try this
this thread is old. This is built into vbseo now under 'guest enhancements' menu.
