How To Modify the Guest Welcome Message

You can modify the guest welcome message that appears on the forumhome (index.php) to unregistered users by modifying the first_visit_message phrase.

Admin Control Panel > Languages and Phrases (http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/languages_and_phrases) > Search in Phrases (http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/language_search_phrases) > Phrase Variable Name Only: first_visit_message. From the result click on the [edit] button and in the English text field click on the button [Copy Default].

Now you can modify it and change it to whatever you want. When done, you click on the [Save] button.

(Initially you find it by going to Search in Phrases and at the 'Search for Text' field you type in: 'If this is your first visit' and click on the [Search] button)
