... from the Group view? I'd like to only have the "Add topic" button accessible from the actual forum view.
I'm using the css-only theme if that matters.
Thanks!

Good question.
The icon and link comes from the spGroupView.php file and the line in it that starts with sp_ForumIndexStatusIcons.
You can comment that out or remove it, but if you do so it will not show if the forum is locked or if it has unread posts. If you don't care about showing that info then you would be all set.
If you want to show the other info I don't see a quick easy way to remove just the add topic icon in the theme file. I am sure Steve or Andy would have some ideas on removing only that icon but we probably won't see them until tomorrow.

Oh dear. Brandon is, sadly, correct.
One the main points of V5 is to allow users to remove/add components easily and while we are pretty confident we have most of it right you have stumbled on one small area where we have clearly got it wrong.
So - the first thing I can promise you is that we WILL correct this for the next update. I will open a ticket for this now to get it fixed and probably code it up today.
Which doesn't help you now. The best I can offer, until a proper fix, is to tell you how to edit the core code to remove this and then, when the fix is in place, talk you through doing it properly at the time. If this is acceptable then shout and I can tell you what to do - it's not hard.
And sorry we missed this one.

Sorry! Leave it to me to find some obscure bit that probably no one else cares about. 🙂
I've tried commenting that line out, and it appears that will work OK for me based on what I see right now. As I've mentioned, I'm new to SP and just trying to get a new forum set up for an existing membership site in order to keep everything running with just one log-in, so I'm sure I'll probably have many more questions in the next week or two especially.
Thanks for your patience and offfers of help! If I run into a problem with the 'comment-out' fix down the road, I'll come back for some editing assistance.

No worries - Andy has already committed the changes and will be in 5.2...
When that occurs, we can walk your through the change you will want in your theme...
