That has no effect on the anchor text in the link to us block. For instance...
The part where it says anchor text is what i would like to change. Also its trying to use my meta description as the title attribute...how can i modify that?

Ok i figured it out. To change the anchor text of the link (the visable url to others).
open link_us.php
Find
Code: Select all
'U_LINK_US' => '<a href="' . $u_link . '" ' . (($config['site_desc']) ? 'title="' . $config['site_desc'] . '"' : '' ) . '>' . (($config['sitename']) ? $config['sitename'] : $u_link ) . '</a>',
Replace with
Code: Select all
'U_LINK_US' => '<a href="' . $u_link . '" ' . (($config['site_desc']) ? 'title="' . $config['site_desc'] . '"' : '' ) . '>' . ('Your Text Here') . '</a>',
Replace 'Your Text Here' with the anchor text you want, make sure to keep the single quotes!

The major problem i have now is the destination of the link.
It has the a href= set to my domain.org/phpbb3
I dont have anything in phpbb3 thus using this link results in a blank/error page.
How can i get this to simply link to domain.org with nothing else?
Ive tried changing script path, ive tried editing the file further...nothing i cahnge seems to make a difference its dead set on using /phpbb3. Should i delete the phpbb3 folder from my server?

Ok i have it figured out...
If you do not want the script path included in your link to us, these are the changes to make.
Find
Code: Select all
$u_link = $config['server_protocol'] . $config['server_name'] . $config['script_path'];
Replace
Code: Select all
$u_link = $config['server_protocol'] . $config['server_name'];
Thats it...so now it will link to a href="Yourdomain.com" instead of yourdomain.com/phpbb3.
It has worked out, not i have the Anchor text i wanted and i have it linking to my homepage. I did not tinker with trying to add an additional path or directing to a different page...but im sure it wouldnt involve much of a change in the code to do.
