remove forum sponsor placeholders

How do I remove my forum sponsor "placeholders" until I actually fill that in with sponsors? I don't see this anywhere in my control panel to modify this.

I guess you fixed this? I see no place holders.

It only displays in my "SkyBlue" template. At the bottom left, change from default to "SkyBlue".

I would imagine its part of your template...

In Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Search in Templates
Search for: Forum Sponsor

Look to see if any templates come up with that phrase in it... if so you can just edit the templates to remove the words.

I looked but did not find anything by that keyword.

In Admin CP -> vBulletin Options -> General Options look for: Add Template Name in HTML Comments and set it to YES.

Now reload the page and look at the HTML Source Code... there will be HTML comments giving the name of each template being called, where it starts and stops. Find "Forum Sponsor" in the source code and look for what template is called before it in the code.

I found this in the page source,

HTML Code:

<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

      <tr>

        <td style="background-image:url(skyblue/misc/sidebar_cat_mid.gif); height: 36px;"><div style="color: #ffffff;" align="center"><strong>Forum Sponsors</strong></div></td>

      </tr>

      <tr>



        <td class="smallfont" style="padding: 10px;">

                

                - <a href="#"><strong>Forum Sponsor</strong></a><br /><br />

                - <a href="#"><strong>Forum Sponsor</strong></a><br /><br />

                - <a href="#"><strong>Forum Sponsor</strong></a><br /><br />

                - <a href="#"><strong>Forum Sponsor</strong></a><br /><br />



                - <a href="#"><strong>Forum Sponsor</strong></a><br /><br />

                

                </td>

      </tr>

    </table>

So, where would this be located inside admin CP?

we need to see the comments with what template it is in, as I mentioned. You'll see HTML comments in the source stating the template name(s) if you do what I said in the post above.

What you posted is not in any template by default so there's no way of knowing where to find it without more info.

OK, then bring up the Footer template for that style and you should see the code in there to change.
