Here are several basic questions from a newbie:
I can't seem to turn smilies or post icons off. I don't want to see the icons in the post form window. I have tried changing general settings and editing the "all regisistered users" in the individual forms groups and then logging in not as the admin, but I still see them. I probably could delete all the smilies from the smilie manager, but isn't there a way to just turn them off? I keep thinking the fourth one in from the left is laughing at me...
I turned off the Public Stats feature in the Global Controls, but I still get the time-generated line at the bottom of the forum pages. How do I remove this?
I am about to start playing with the themes and tmeplates, so I know I can get into real trouble. My thought was to make a copy of the default theme and modify it incrementally to learn what I am doing. My theme folder on my server, however, is completely locked. I can't open it, copy to it, copy from it, copy the folder itself or change any of the folder's permissions via my GoLive FTP browser. Is this folder supposed to be locked (to keep me from messing it up!)? Is this approach wrong? Are there themes that can be downloaded that might be a better starting point?
Thanks for your help.

You see those despite the group permissions setting because you are an admin, hence you bypass all permission checks.

You see those because you are logged in as an admin, the page generation times you will always see. It is other users for whom you've turned this off.

Use the 'file unlock' control panel to unlock forum's files & directories. Once you do that you'll be able to modffy the files via FTP. Making a copy of the theme directory you can do via 'Theme Manager' by using the 'Create New Template Set' option.

Post icons you can remove by simply deleting them.
If you've made a new theme and want to see how it looks you need to do 2 things. #1 you need to rebuild this theme (after making mods) so that your changes take into effect. #2 you need to choose this theme as your theme in your profile.

But can I make them, and the post icons, disappear altogether?
