XF 1.4 How to get rid of the [New Profile Posts] Tab on New Posts

[Digital Doctor]

With the addition of the New Profile Posts tab ...

More users will will see Profile posts.
And Read them.
And post their own.

Some sites will like this.
Some will not.

You can see the effect happening here at Xenforo.com already.

As an admin, you might want to remove the [New Profile Posts] tab before it gets popular.

Anyone know how to remove the [New Profile Posts] tab ? And replace it with a [New Resources] tab ?

==================================

Update:
To Remove the [New Profile Posts] Tab.

Solution 1:

a[href="find-new/profile-posts"]{display:none!important;}

Just add that to your extra.css so that after you've disabled all permissions the tabs related to finding new profile posts go away. Most browsers support this excluding IE 6, but who gives a damn about that. [source]

Solution 2:
Add this to extra.css

.find_new_posts_none .tabs li:last-child , .find_new_posts .tabs li:last-child {display:none;}

We don't want profile posts at all, it would be nice if we could fully disable this feature.

This will increase Profile Posting even more.

Well, the sidebar feature can be disabled in the admin.

Profile comment permissions have been set to None. That only leaves the tabs on the "new posts" page.

In general, Profile posts are of low quality. It could be fun for members. But it will definitely be a spam target. Seems like an ideal method for attention whores.
It's an easy way to "Get attention".

Many forums prefer the interaction to be on the forums.

I'm fairly sure a remove-on will be available very soon.

Never mind, fixed already!

Please note, this plug-in may need to be updated for 1.4.

If you don't want profile posts at all, you can remove them in permissions (like you've done with things like comments).

It gets worse.

I can post URLS to the Forum Home.

Ideal for attention whores.

Profile posts are often off topic irrelevance.
Xenforo.com should consider removing the New Profile Posts sidebar ... I'm not sure the off topic blathering deserves such a high profile location.

Seems like it'll create lots of work for Moderators.

just need option to switch it off, and problem its resolved

I don't see what the problem is. You don't like it, disable the block, set permissions to disallow profile posts and comments. All sorted bar a tab which can be edited out in the template unless the devs add an option to do this.

Undecided here, will have to play the wait and see game.

On a positive note:

I love the


But surely the better use of this would be for:
(1) Multiquoting "with response".
(2) Quick Replying.

I don't see what the problem is.

It could be ideal for many sites that thrive on chit chat.
Not all sites are chit chat.

Fed up of hyperbole everywhere I look in this place now.

Not all sites are chit chat.

Conversely, not all sites are sterile, soulless places which have less functionality than an 80's BB.
