Looks like your using SMF with the copyright removed. For this reason and being a Support Specialist for Simple Machines forum software I decline to give you my review of your site or supply any support for you. I hope the theme you are using is a free one. (which it is.)

 

[fish4um6]

I installed that software using the installer in CPanel, then installed the theme downloaded from SMF themes, thats the way it came out. ??? I hope the whole thing is free, cause thats about what its worth.
As far as support... i dont need any

 

[bigguy]

The theme is free yes and so is the software. I have already stated the theme is free. As for the copyright. Either the theme removes it or you did, one of the two. Either way people worked hard on that software and removing it (However it was removed) is like a slap in the face.

I agree, so ive completely deleted everything on that url, including my account. Sorry, i cant help what the installers do. I just push buttons and what happens, happens.

 

[bigguy]

A auto installer is not going to remove a copyright....if that IS the case then SMF has a bit of a problem to take care of. What auto installer did you use. ?? Did the default theme have the copyright at the bottom. ??

 

[fish4um6]

I cant really say. I used the installer for the software, then installed the theme that i downloaded from the smf mod site using the built in theme installer, and started setting up the forums on the site. I never pay any attention to whats at the bottom, because you cant change that part.

According to :
Illori

• Doc Coordinator
• SMF Master
• 2.0 version you can legally remove it without paying to remove it, but you may loose support.
  also the 2.0 version is no longer copyright of the LLC.

Yes, I have already told you this in a PM. In version 2.0 and higher it is legal to remove the copyright BUT, it is up to the team members if they wish to give support to a site with no copyright.

EDIT: Btw, just because it says she is an SMF Master....that really doesn't mean a lot. That is just a fun title you get when you post a bunch. As she is a Doc Coordinator You can see she would be posting alot.
