Do topics in your forums take a long time to load, contain a lot of empty screen space, or use a lot of bandwidth? If so, Display Poster Information Once may interest you. It reduces the display of member information, of your choosing, to once per page for each poster in a topic. The first post is displayed normally, but all of his or her subsequent posts on a page leave out the details you have chosen to omit.

The hack supports removal of avatars, signatures, signature images, rank images, rank titles, locations, registration dates, number of posts, and profile, e-mail, website, and instant messenger links from posts. Support for several popular modifications is also included, and adding others is very easy as well! Left over HTML line breaks that pointlessly take up extra space can also be removed. Exactly what information is removed can be changed when installing the changes or by editing viewtopic.php later.

Features of Display Poster Information Once 1.2.0

  • Cut down on bandwidth used by locally hosted avatars and images.
  • Make topics load faster and look cleaner.
  • Remove only the data you desire.
