Might have to log out - therefore making yourself a guest - before you can see the change.

I always view the changes from another browser as a guest. Thanks for the reply.

Does the same thing happen on a unmodified default style?

Hmm, if you could PM me a admin account, I can look into it when I get home from work later today.

When we speak about that, could the WGO be replaced with text of our own, to try drive more registrations?

For example, to put phrase (so we can use it on multilingual boards) on lines like this:

"To see forum statistics, please register (link to registration page, of course). Registration is free, simple and fast."

It may be possible, I'll look into it as soon as I have a chance.
