Branding: What can I remove?

[DannyMilner]

Hello,

I own a branded vBulletin and I wanted to know is the only branding I have to keep on is the "Copyright ©2000 - 2006, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd. " OR do I have to keep everything that says vbulletin eg "vBulletin Message"

Thanks,
Danny

No, just keep:

"Copyright ?2000 - 2006, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd."

i would suggest removing version from your site when first installing a vb board as it leaves you open to attackers who may know an exploit in that version. also its really no one's business what version you are running. there is also a version number in the <meta> tags.

How do you remove the version number from the footer ?

Where and how do you do this on a 3.5.3 board?

In Admin CP, go to Language & Phrases and do a search for "powered_by_vbulletin". In the open box just enter what you want. As Allan pointed out, that is the minimal wording you can use legally.

To remove the version in the Meta tag go to Common Templates --> headinclude. Find:

<meta name="generator" content="vBulletin $vboptions[templateversion]" />

And replace it with:

<meta name="generator" content="vBulletin" />

I removed if from the meta tag but not sure how to remove it from the footer.
I did this:
In Admin CP, go to Language & Phrases and do a search for "powered_by_vbulletin". In the open box just enter what you want.
and get this :
Powered by vBulletin Version {1}<br />Copyright &copy;2000 - {2}, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.

How should it look like to remove the version?
