Removing right hand side blocks in the Forums module

What the subject says. How do I remove the blocks on the right for the forums module?

Why are right-hand blocks displaying on the Forums? If they do, you'll want to add an $index = 0; line to the beginning of the forums module file.

Doesn't work

global $index;
$index = 1;

If this does not working, open modules/Forums/index.php and add them at the beginning.

Again, that doesnt work. I think that it's because of the NSN_Blue theme.

i had save this when i started nuke hope it helps
(its not my code )

Code:

This is controlled by the function themeheader located in theme.php under each theme directory.
I already hacked this file up for you to make it easier.

Explanation of what I did: In the function themeheader, I added a new global variable
called $turn_leftblocks_off like this:

Code:
global $banners, $turn_leftblocks_off;

Then I changed this line:
Code:
blocks(left);

to read like this:
Code:

if (isset($turn_leftblocks_off) && $turn_leftblocks_off) {
blocks(none);
} else {
blocks(left);
}

Whichever pages you do not want left blocks displayed, just add this new variable right below where
you add mainfile.php and set it to true like this:
Code:
require_once('mainfile.php');
$turn_leftblocks_off = true;

If you want left blocks displayed on any page, do not use this variable.

I changed the left to right, and something interesting happened- the home page displayed both the right hand side blocks on both sides, and the forums took off the left hand side blocks.

YES

It worked! I found out that blocks(right); is in themefooter, not themeheader.

ok im sry but im confused, i only want left blocks removed from the forums page and cpl other not the whole site, so should i add the variable code at the bottom to select pages like modules.php?name=Private_Messages and modules.php?name=Forums

or do i have to have that code in the theme.php and then add that variable to the pages that i want to remove them, caues im confused...sry
