Is there an easy way to hide the thread/post count on the main display?

I'm talking about here -

http://www.wineintro.com/wineforum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=cfrm&c=2

I always found those numbers to be troublesome. On new forums it tends to highlight "nobody is posting here" which is not good. On my active forums like at BellaOnline it creates a competition "My forum has more posts than yours so it's a better forum" which is also not good.

I used to hand edit those out every single time I did an upgrade which is a royal pain and finally I gave up on that because I already have to edit enough things.

Is this an option somewhere I missed, to turn those columns off?

I will be *thrilled* if you can implement this into a live version. I really vastly prefer not showing those counts in any of my three forums.

Right now I rarely upgrade because there are so many things I have to modify on each upgrade, it makes the upgrade into a multi day process full of a lot of tedious editing. Multiplied times three. Having this part automated will be a big help.
