I must apologize. The copyright I was referring to when all of this started was the copyright on your forumhome not being clearly visible, although the one on your homepage was questionnable to me at the time. In the past others have tried to hide it the way you did on the forumhome and it was not alllowed then and isn't really allowed now. That was what I was questioning. How it got to be solely about the homepage, I don't know. So, my apologies for not explaining myself better in the beginning. ;)

Boofo - thanks for the clarification. I honestly have/had no intention of "hiding" the copyright. I created a fading/blending background and depending on how long the page is the copyright is sometimes more visible than others. I assure you that hiding the vb copyright was not the intent when creating the background.

Here is an example page that clearly shows the copyright and better describes what I am referring to regarding the fading/blending background.

(edit: may or may not be an example, lol, im an idiot)

Thanks again for the clarification, Boofo - But I am still confused on the vb stance of hacks/addons & copyright.

maximux1,

Even on that page it is still very difficult for me to see the copyright.

The only thing I could suggest (since this is a forum commenting forum) is that you could make a it a light green.

Maybe doing the copyright in white text might fix the problem on a background that lands wrong because the page is too long. Or you could do like I did and just purchase the branding free option. ;)

As far as the homepage goes, I always understood that since it does use forms of vB code, then the vB copyright has to be there. There's really no way around a homepage the incorporates itself into vBulletin not using vBulletin code itself to do so, so that would make the copyright necessary, I think. At least that was always my understanding of the issue. ;)

Cool Cool - thanks guys.

The copyright on the footer could be changed to something like gray and still be pretty visible, I would think...I'll try it now, let me know.

ya, that might be a good idea. What's vb get for the branding free option?

Hrm, I found the branding free option, but dont see a way to purchase it through the vb site...I must be blind, or maybe this needs to be a special request.

How did you purchase the branding free option, Boofo? Am I missing it somewhere?

It's in there uder your license info listed as extras or other stuff or something like that. They lowered the price to 120.00 now. ;)

I payed for it through PayPal.

What a tasty site. Vould i have a subdomain :nervous:
