I have spent the last 48 hours searching previous posts on this same issue but as a non-techie, it just makes no sense to me. I did not set up my site with drupal, a friend of mine who is no longer around did and I just don't understand html, php, etc... I need to know the easiest way to remove "More information about formatting options" under comments in my form page just like the bottom of this page.

Is there a way for me to just go somewhere, like in Administer, etc??? and simply uncheck something or delete something? This "More information..." comment just makes my site look unfinished and I really need to have it removed.

Any suggestions will be EXTREMELY appreciated.

Anyone please, what is the easiest way for the "layperson", non-computer saavy to remove this thing?

The first thing to do is understand these forums are manned by volunteers. You need to give people a chance to respond. That could be hours, or days. It all depends on when someone that has knowledge in the area you are asking about looks at the forums.

As for your question, if you move to D6 there is a Better Formats module. For D5 I don't know of a built-in way, or any module.

Thanks for the response and this may seem like a very dumb question but, how do I "move" to D6?

Upgrade-- see the UPGRADAE.txt file included with the d6 version of drupal as well as the documentation: Getting Started -> Upgrading from previous versions.

Is there absolutely no way of removing that "more info..." thing other than a full blown upgrade?

You can try at admin/settings/filters/1/configure by unchecking "Display HTML help "

OR, simply use CSS to hide this.

The relevant part is probably <ul class="tips">

So you will need to add
.tips {display:none;} to style.css

Codes may not be exactly this - check with Firebug in Firefox for the exacts.

Thank you all so much for taking the time to help me with this. I will try it and will let you know how I make out. Have a great weekend!

I'm just looking at that myself and the forum post http://drupal.org/node/115824 gives you more information on how to remove the "More information about formatting options" in the comment form with plenty of solutions for both Drupal 5 and 6.
