Also, if you don't mind can you please specify which image your are referring to and "which" part of the image.

P.S. It looks like image 7 did not work, I will reupload it soon.

I've also labeled the images with numbers please use those numbers as reference to describe which screenshot you are referring too.

Again, Thank you for your support, your contribution is greatly appreciated.

I don't have any specific answers for you, but I have a couple of general comments: If by any chance what you're looking to do is translate the text to a diffeent language, then it can all be done using the phrase manager and you don't need to edit the templates.

In general you can figure out what template things are in by turning on "Add Template Name in HTML Comments" in the General Settings section. Then if you view the HTML source for a page you'll see comments telling you when the output of each template negins and ends. (Sometimes the template name is the one at the very top, if it looks liek it's not inside any other template).

I see, but I've tried that however, they don't specify exactly which template.

e.g.) would be the quick reply box

Source doesn't bring that up, either that its hard to locate it.

And no, I'm not trying to translate to a different language, I'm trying to alter the text.

And no, I'm not trying to translate to a different language, I'm trying to alter the text.That is called "translation" in the phrase manager. It's not referring to language translation, it's referring to replacement text away from standard. kh99 gave you accurate advice all the way.

Image 5 that you posted however, the template for that is postbit_legacy

Good luck.

Good point - I actually forgot about the possibility of changing the text but still in English. In that case you'd also want to use the Phrase Manager like Max says. But if you want to change the color/size/font etc, then you need to find the template or the CSS.

Oh I see thank you.

EDIT: Found it.

I will check it out.

This is a wonderful way to change text, didn't know it was this efficiently easy.
