   The search box makes my forum look cluttered and as it will be a small forum I doubt it will ever be used. Therefore I would like to delete it, i'm quite new to web technologies and am having trouble working out what bits I need to delete to get rid of it! I'm sure this would be an easy question for someone more knowledgeable to answer, so help please! :)

   Add to your theme's stylesheet:
   .search { display: none; }

   Thanks so much, as I said I have only been doing this web stuff for a few days so even the simplest stuff evades me!

   @Kawauso
   Is using display:none; fine as per SEO? It violates the rule of showing different content to the users than the bot.

   Using display:none just hides it from display. If you want to remove it, remove the code from your template file. In the 1.0 versions it's in header.php. Remove this stuff:

   <div class="search">
   <?php search_form(); ?>
                           </div>

   That will remove the search box.
