So I dont even know how many times I have accidentally hit the 'ping fav friends' while on mobile and didnt notice, most often in ping group forums those friends cant even access.

Itd be cool in the dash to choose if you want those special ping options to show. I never use them, and if I wanted to Id rather turn it on and then right off. For a ipad user or mobile its a pain especially because the check box is skewed and only shows part of a check mark. So its hard to even tell if you clicked it with out thinking to look every time you post.

Is this a thing I just suck at finding? If not I guess maybe Ill suggest it.

I have also never used these buttons before, so for me personally, I just say do away with them. It won't affect me at all.

No, I don't believe there's any way to turn them off. There are some forum options under preferences, but I'm not even sure if those are still valid since they updated the forums.

You could probably remove them with custom CSS, I tried working it out, but I'm bad at figuring out division names.

.inline.field .ui.checkbox { display: none; }

try this

do you know if that affects any other content on the site? i was going to suggest the same thing but it sounds like a pretty general class that might mess up something else.

LOL I tried both inline field and the checkbox thing, but never considered putting them together! I'll experiment tomorrow and see if they affect anything else.

Ohman yes Im going to try this, same question as feenchi though. Dont want it to mess up my forum layout I had to add after the update caused everything to have giant spaces/tiny text.

Ugh same Im so glad others are more skilled than I xD

it might, it's been over a year since I've used it because it messes with my minimod privileges and I never got around to fixing it so it doesn't. if you have private forums and you're an admin, it'd mess with that I'd imagine.

I don't quite remember but I think I messed with it a little while before I figured it out when I did it :x it was kinda confusing

Well I added the code then wandered the site. Paying particular attention to places with checkboxes, WL, shops, vault, etc. As said, the only problem I ran into was forums where I'm admin - I don't use those options often, but if I want to I can always remove the code temporarily.

You add text to the CSS box, /remove forum checkboxes/ just above the new code. Then, if later you need those options, you can add /* */ to the beginning and end of each line to have it ignore that code.

I wasn't able to confirm the checkboxes in shops with CWs works since I don't have any.

You can just add /* to the front of the first line and */ to the end of the last line instead of on each individual line, saves a little bit of time especially for longer blocks of code
