I guess you mean the 'Recently' chunk. Crack open skins/yourskinname/_main.php (your skin is probably custom) in your favourite text editor and delete the following lines:

		<ul>
			<li><a href="<?php $Blog->disp( 'staticurl', 'raw' ) ?>"><strong><?php echo T_('Recently') ?></strong></a> <span class="dimmed"><?php echo T_('(cached)') ?></span></li>
			<li><a href="<?php $Blog->disp( 'dynurl', 'raw' ) ?>"><strong><?php echo T_('Recently') ?></strong></a> <span class="dimmed"><?php echo T_('(no cache)') ?></span></li>
		</ul>

I just spent an hour trying to find a reference to this section. The reason? Mine doesn't do anything. I have two links "Recently (cached)" and "Recently (no cache)", but not recent post listings.

What could be the problem? I have not edited this section of the code, and it looks just like what you have posted. Do I have an option turned off somewhere?

Trip,

Do you want to have the "Recently (cache)" and "Recently (no cache)" links or not? Graham told you how to remove them.

1. Open up /blogs/skins/custom/_main.php in a text editor.
2. Find the bit that he referenced.
3. Delete the hell out of it.
4. Save the file.
5. Upload it again.

Alternatively, you could make this change to _main.php in the "Templates" tab in the backoffice. (That section of the backoffice just allows you to edit the "custom" skin - the same thing that we both just told you how to do manually.)

Poof, it's gone.

That's so totally not what I said... I want to know why mine does nothing. It's there, unedited, but lists nothing. I want to know why.

They're links. They're not supposed to list anything. I've looked at your site and I've no idea what you're on about. If you can't be more explicit with what you mean, then it's quite hard to help. If you want the links to work, you need to specify a static file name and then set the appropriate [url=http://b2evolution.net/man/2004/06/04/file_permissions]permissions[/url]

Both links essentially refresh the current blog. Permissions aren't a problem.

Sounds like you want me to create a static file here, but how and why would that change this link? How/where do I specify it?

I'd also like to know... why do those links exist if their only purpose is to show the most recent posts of the current blog? I mean, aren't the newest entries on top anyway?

Am I misunderstanding its purpose or what? How do most people use those?

Gotta love that search.

I know what a static file is. Try to answer my questions before providing tongue-in-cheek responses that get neither of us anywhere, we'll get along better that way.

Creating a static file is not a problem. Creating one for "Recently (cached)" and "Recently (no cache)" is somewhat different as neither of those are blogs.

Apparently (although, you would never be able to tell from your reply), you are suggesting that nothing will show up in "Recently (cached)" if I haven't created any static files... BUT I already said that both links simply refresh the active blog.

Do not mistake my 8 posts as a sign of idiocy. Again, I'll ask... why do those links exist?

One sends you to the cached page. If you haven't set it, it simply sends you to the dynamic one. Set the static file up, and it will send you to the static page. This helps to avoid any 404 errors.

Thank you.

But I still don't really understand what purpose the links serve. Are they there simply as a "go back to the main page for this blog"?

You're right, trip.

They're retarded. You should delete them.

Are they there simply as a "go back to the main page for this blog"?

Yes.
