How do I Remove the "New Discussions" button for the main page?

Truffles

I want the members to create new threads from within the categories (they don't seem to look at where they are posting). I would like to remove the "New Discussions" button from the home page, therefore forcing them to look at the categories.

I do not know how to use those, so no.

you should learn! its basic for a forum admin.

    #vanilla_discussions_index .BoxNewDiscussion {
    display:none;
    }

custom.css in your theme.

you can also use the search feature for customizing theme as well as custom.css and on the documentation page, wiki and turorials for themes - should give you then answer to every question you might have.

Thank you for the code. What php file would it be located in? (Sorry I'm such a n00b)

I will also definitely do some reading regarding finding elements.
