How to remove the search bar when asking a question?

Hi guys,

I'm using the latest version of Easydiscuss with Joomla 3.1.5.

When a user clicks to ask a question, the search bar is still visible on the page. Is there a way to remove the search bar when the user is asking a question? In this forum you've actually achieved this exact feature that I'm looking for.

The search bar distracts the user from the ask a question box and the user becomes confused with what box to use.

Thanks for your help.
