I do like the option to add a background image, that can be changed up often. | | | Join Date: Aug 2007 | Location: OHIO | | Re: Advanced Welcome Message It must be in the nav bar template then vBulletin Owner
vBSetup Owner Re: Advanced Welcome Message I'm about to switch over to the notifications that are built into vB3.7, but ATM ours is at the end of the header template. vBulletin Owner
vBSetup Owner Re: Advanced Welcome Message Does anyone know if you can make a block of text so search engine bots don't scan it, sort of like a nofollow for text? | | | Join Date: Aug 2007 | Location: OHIO | | Re: Advanced Welcome Message Since we can define the bots maybe theres a conditional to block all on the list | | | Join Date: May 2008 | | Re: Advanced Welcome Message Thank you for your Mod!

Changing to your Img and your links ect...
Add to the bottom of your Main CSS ADDITIONAL CSS DEFINITIONS PHP Code: #links2 {font-family: verdana;}
#links2 a:link, #links2 a:visited {color: blue; text-decoration: underline;}
#links2 a:hover, #links2 a:active {color: black; text-decoration: underline;}
I did this with help from VBSEO
and my welcome message only shows on Forum home So i get the Good (HOME) Google link for my site and my other links on google dont have repeated info in them (Which is why people make it an IMG but you dont have to if you do it like this )
