nothing more nothing less... yup legally, im good even according to their own TOS =)
ok so im designing my new skin, and since it wasnt a live skin when i got the message that im removing the copyright i ignored it cause i was putting it back, just hadn't got to that point yet, wanted to test just my html inside.
so when i added the copyright back this is how i did it.
Code:
<li><a href="http://vbulletin.com" title="$vbphrase[powered_by_vbulletin]">vBulletin®</a></li>
the copyright phrase is in red, and this is how it looks on the skin i'm working on.
so, it's there, shoot i even linked to them (which is not required). so i'd like to know is that technically breaking the terms and conditions?
i know i've seen skin sources (in the actual xml's) not have the phrase at all but instead just say "powered by vBulletin" so i just want to be cautious and find out for sure.
