how to change the welcome message on my index page!

[Lynne]

This is the code in the FORUMHOME template that outputs that text:

    <div id="pagetitle">
        <h1>{vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}</h1>
        <p id="welcomemessage" class="description">{vb:rawphrase welcome_to_the_x, {vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}}</p>
    </div>

So, you could either edit that or edit the phrase/settings.
