Anyway to get rid of "Welcome to the Forums" message?

[kevinmanphp]

Is there anyway to get rid of the "Welcome to the Forums... if this is your first visit... blah blah blah" message? I have looked under options and usergroup options and cannot find where I might be able to turn this feature off.

Thanks for any help.

You need to delete it from the FORUMHOME template. Remove this code:

<if condition="$show['guest']">
<!-- guest welcome message -->
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
	<td class="tcat"><phrase 1="$vboptions[bbtitle]">$vbphrase[welcome_to_the_x]</phrase></td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td class="alt1">
		<phrase 1="faq.php$session[sessionurl_q]" 2="register.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[first_visit_message]</phrase>
	</td>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- / guest welcome message -->
<br />
</if>

I was looking to do the same but the script that I was looking for is a little different that is shown in Waynes post.

here is what I can find

<if condition="$show['guest']">
    <!-- guest welcome message -->
    <tr>
        <td class="tcat" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">6<else />5</if>"><phrase 1="$vboptions[bbtitle]">$vbphrase[welcome_to_the_x]</phrase></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td class="alt1" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">6<else />5</if>">
            <phrase 1="faq.php$session[sessionurl_q]" 2="register.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[first_visit_message]</phrase>
        </td>
    </tr>
    <!-- / guest welcome message -->
    
</thead>
</if>

Is this what I have to remove?

Yes.
