* Open the template editor
    * Create a copy of the template you wish to modify
    * Select the "template.css" file and search for the asterix class
    * Add the following line at the end of the asterix class".asterisk {display: none;}".
    * Save template.css
    * Clear your browser cache so that the edited template.css is reloaded and not taken from cache.

OK, it seems like mint_idea doesn't have a class "asterisk" defined in the stylesheet. But the class is in the question.pstpl:

<span class="asterisk">{QUESTION_MANDATORY}</span>

So what you do is to create a class in the template.css and hide this class:

.asterisk {
display:none;
}

Or you could just remove the whole code above, so the asterisk doesn't show anymore. However, just to inform you: the asterisk is there to alert participants about mandatory questions. If you hide/delete it, there is no sign of the question being mandadory.

Have a look at the manual! It is a really valuable source for information. Here some helpful links:

holch OFFLINE LimeSurvey Team Posts: 1973 Thank you received: 156 Karma: 80	@Jelo: it shows, because it is included in question.pstpl. But the class "asterisk" is not available in my template.css of mint_idea. Have a look at yours if it is there. Would be weired.

Grenadeh OFFLINE Fresh Lemon Posts: 14 Karma: 0	I did exactly what the previous person was told to do (as there is no asterisk class in my template either) and this did not get rid of the asterisk. Nevermind, I fixed it. For whatever reason none of the classes are defined in the template, they are in the startpage.pstpl
