Remove the Updates Button

[DrByte]

You're making it much more difficult than it needs to be.

This section of /admin/includes/header.php displays the button and version info. You could remove or comment-out as desired:

<?php
  if ($new_version) {
?>
    <td align="right" class="main" valign="top"><?php echo $new_version; ?></td>
<?php
  }
?>
