How to remove powered by vBulletin from your vb forum title

[bochgoch]

Why do you remove the link ... what does that achieve (except for one less outbound link)?

...just curious...

If you leave all the link mod, hack, and software makers are trying to place on your forum for stuff you use to enhance your forum, you will see that you forum will look more like a link far than a forum for example

1. vB the main software maker want you to leave their link (now they are happy that the link is not active.
2. vBSEO ditto
3. The skin manufacturer
4. Most of the mod manufacturer
5. Hack manufacturer (for example the download hack used in this forum, have a look at the bottom of the page here

You can easlily have over 10 outgoing links on your forum, backlinks aside, its a bloody mess having so many crappy confusing links on the footer of your forum. Not to mention people you yourself want to link to.

well the informaiton in the tip is quite useful and I think I need to follow it.

Wow, Thanks a lot for that. I've been looking to get rid of that, but I was being lazy. You motivated me. If I had known it would only take 2 minutes then I would've done that a while back.

I thought you were required to keep this link there?

Thanks

Is Vbulletin a free board like proboards or does it have a different cost structure?

[temi]

vBulletin is not free, you can see the pricing structure here

[bacardi]

I would think for a novice forum site better to stick to proboards as its totally free including the hosting. The drawback is its not as good as Vbulletin but once you get better you can always upgrade to Vbulletin so you can make proboards your practise boards until you get the hang of it!

I currently am not working on any vB powered forum but this is very useful, in case I will need some info in the future I will know where to search.
