Profile fields - JooBB frontentd

First of all, thanks for such a great component.
I have one request, which would make this component even better. I would really like to disable/hide certain user profile fields (the ones that are on the right side). Because now, if the text is short in the main window, every post takes too much space and there is just plenty of white space in between posts. If that could be rectified somehow, would be great.

This is something I also would like to see. My users make shorts posts mainly and the forum is filled with whitespace.

snowblizz, valdonatas,

for sure your suggestions are very good. I know this, because I started (Versions 0.3.0 - 0.5.0) developing Joo!BB this way. There was a big plan for this. Now you will wonder, why I stopped it?! The answer is very simple... Joo!BB became very slow because every if-statement slows down the software.

I think it's a better way just to remove not needed fields in the template. You can do this e.g. for posts in JOOMLA_ROOT\components\com_joobb\designs\templates\joobb\joobb_post.php

The best way is to create an own template by copying the original joobb template. You can then do your changes without loosing them on updates.

I agree, better faster and more efficient. One can always change the template but very hard to speed up a bloated program.
