go to admin/adminfunctions.php
find:
Code:
echo "<font size=\"1\" face=\"Verdana,Arial,Helvetica\">".$lang->footer_powered_by." <b>MyBB $mybboard[internalver]</b><br>".$lang->footer_copyright." &copy; 2005 MyBB Group<br />".$lang->footer_stats."</font></center>\n";

errr, wrong name of file

guys... sorry if this is a stupid question but I dont have that file... you mentioned a file name error... I have "adminfunctions_templates.php". Would that be this file? I cant find this code in this file...

Tks in advance...
That's outdated, it doesn't exist in 1.4 now Smile

Tks!
I have one suggestion...

Have your site documented:

- A doc with your database prefixes, admin dir, hosting data, database and admin IDs, (dont recommend password but might be an option). Ok... this can actually become a security breach but its a calculated risk;

- Also, keep a log of all changes and implementations you made, like when you installed a new plugin, changed a template, ran a replacing query, etc... this will help troubleshooting if a problem occurs and also will help if you have to rebuild your site due a failure or even an upgrade that erases some fetaures.

Tks.
Another good practice might be having an "admin" and an "administrator" usernames that are actually regular users (not admins) and creating an admin user that looks like a regular user (with a person name).

This real admin might have its Display User Group to "Registered" so nobody knows he is the admin...

Not sure if that was clear... hope so...

rgds.
Ok, I have read through this and attempted to make the change.

I changed my admin directory in the config.php and changed the directory name. All permissions are still good.

But now I have a Cookie issue where I can't log into my forum, and when I do access the new admin page via the new name directory, I have to re-log each time I change to a different part of the admin cp and after every change I make.

Any thoughts?
Never mind about my above post, read the sticky about this issue and found my issue to not even match any in the post.

My issue is I have two domain names pointing to my web site.

http://www.cincinnatiairsoft.com and http://www.cincinnatiairsoftarena.com since they both go to my main site and then go on to my forum... guess what... the one with arena in it will not have the correct cookie info and thus doesn't allow me to stay logged in.

Any ideas how to make this work for me?
Well, yeah, if the cookies are setup for one domain, a different one won't work. There is this plugin and this plugin that may work, but it might be easier to redirect one URL to the other...
it works thank you Smile
