I need to change the Terms of Use to match what we want and I am getting frustrated finding my way around all the files.

Which file contains the text for Terms of Use?

Which file contains the text of the message people get in the "Registration" email?

Which file contains the text of the message people get in the "Subscribe to this topic" email?

Also trying to change colours and when I can figure out how to make 6 x 6 pixel .png files of only a few Kb, I will have that solved.

I have really looked around and cannot find how Admin makes other members either Admin or Moderators.... trust me, I have looked through the ACP :'(

Any help would be really appreciated. I believe the docs are not up yet and I wonder if they offered support for these mods? Please feel free to tell me to RTFM provided you link me to that manual :shock:

first 3 questions i would say they are in a lang file

you change colors in your templates CSS file and png files you d o best with photoshop or gimp

It's not yet a feature of usebb to set administrators and moderaterors check the documentation on how you do that through phpmyadmin. Documentation : http://usebb.sourceforge.net/docs/doku.php?id=configuration:administration_without_acp

Thanks for your help - the bits I wanted were indeed in /languages/lang_English where I managed to amend the Terms of Use and also the pre-amble sent along with the various emails.

I have changed these words in 7 places from:

This is the forum software of (board_name) speaking. TO:

This is an automated response from (board_name).

Just felt that they sounded a bit better - feel free to use them if you like them.

Have managed to change colours where it was simply a matter of replacing a graphic in the /templates/default/gfx/ folder.

Am finding it hard to see where to change colour of Text in the Blue Bar (Post Reply, Author, Post, Forum, Topics, Posts, Latest Post etc). On Radiochick Forum have changed the blue bar to PINK and need WHITE text. If anyone can point me to the file I would appreciate the time saved searching...thanks.

Administrators & Moderators: Managed to add Mods and Admins to the staff but am finding the energy to add 1 admin and 2 mods to 20 Categories one-at-a-time. Look forward to the ACP update :)
