where is "forums contain new posts" at in template?
 

I was wanting to put a background box behind the two images on the bottom of my forum that says "forum contains new posts " "forum contains no new posts" where are these located at in the templates?

Thanks

To find the template name - vboptions > General Settings > Add Template Name in HTML Comments > set to Yes . Then go back to your page and view the source code and you will see the name of the template called around your part of the code.

The comment line says "Icons and login code" where the code is but I do not see that in the templates.

You need to find the comment line above that then. It will look something like this:
<!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: templatename -->

I did a find next through the text editor and it appears to not be labeled as being apart of a template.

All of a page is part of a template in vb. The words may be from a phrase, but that phrase is found in a template.

But, it sounds like you found it, so that is good.

Actually I didn't find it and still can't

Well, it has to be in a template - it happens to be in the FORUMHOME template and I think also the FORUMDISPLAY template - do a search in templates for the phrase "$vbphrase[forum_contains_new_posts]" and you should see all the templates it's in. They are in tables so you should be able to put a background image in the row or columns.
