Changing the statistics

[Abizaga]

What do I change in the forumhome template to say something other than
posts
threads
members
and
Welcome to our newest member?

I mean so I can edit thoes.

Look for this code in your FORUMHOME template (this is for 3.6, so yours may be slightly different):

<div class="smallfont">
            <div>
                $vbphrase[threads]: $totalthreads,
                $vbphrase[posts]: $totalposts,
                $vbphrase[members]: $numbermembers<if condition="$show['activemembers']">,
                    <span title="<phrase 1="$vboptions[activememberdays]">$vbphrase[within_the_last_x_days]</phrase>">$vbphrase[active_members]: $activemembers</span>
                </if>
            </div>
            <div><phrase 1="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$newuserid" 2="$newusername">$vbphrase[welcome_to_our_newest_member_x]</phrase></div>

You can rearragne that however you want and change the wording, too.

Do I edit what's in the brackets or something? I don't get it. Sorry. I'm being stupid today.

Well, I don't know what you want, so I can't tell you what to edit. That is the code that spits out those lines. If you give me an image of what you want it to look like, I may be able to make a suggestion on how to change that code.

To edit the words members, threads, posts, ect. on the forum home page in the what's going on box.

If you just want to change the words, then you can either edit the phrases ($vbphrase[threads], $vbphrase[posts], etc) in the phrase manager, or you can simply replace those phrases with the word you want in the template.
