How about some "About" & "Copyright" links?

Or allow us to change the names of the links depending on what we want

Anyone have a generic privacy policy we could use

Very nice , thank you.
Does somebody have the ready made policies for all so that I make my own based upon that. I was able to do the disclaimer one.

I feel like an idiot for even asking but I am a total novice at this...where is my root directory? I have an FTP something or other but there is nothing called root directory in it so I'm totally lost.

You root directory is the main directory where your vB files are in.

Eg, index.php, showthread.php etc...
