Need Help Please 2 Things!
 

Often when i look at vbulletin forums (while being unregistered/not logged in) i see more than just
"if this is your first visit, be sure to check out the FAQ by clicking the link above. You may have to register before you can post: click the register link above to proceed. To start viewing messages, select the forum that you want to visit from the selection below. "

how do i edit that to say what ever i want?

also how do i edit my forums so that instead of the post count and join date being above the thread's text, its actually to the left under the username?

1) AdminCP > Languages & Phrases > Search In Phrases (Search for the first few words)

2) I'm not sure what you mean here, a screenshot may be helpful. However it seems it is because you're using a custom skin, I think.

2) Switch to postbit legacy in your vB Options.

thanks so much marco it worked :)
