Do you want to do it like Neowin has it setup? Then just login to your ADMIN CP then go under Skins and Templates > Skin Manager. Now click on All Global HTML and find "member_bar" and edit that.

You'll see..

<div id="userlinksguest">
	<p class="pcen"><b>{ipb.lang['guest_stuff']}</b> ( <a href="{ipb.script_url}act=Login&CODE=00">{ipb.lang['log_in']}</a> | <a href="{ipb.script_url}act=Reg&CODE=00">{ipb.lang['register']}</a> )
</else>

Just edit everything after <div id="userlinksguest"> and before </else> :)

I understand what you are saying but it seems to be only towards the guest that the message comes up to. And I'm not sure but the message that they have in the beginning before a person logs in or better said a guest at the main page looks more like a warning bar where instead of a warning it has a message that ask you to register to get some benefits. It's also in a red box with a picture in it. It looks great for new people to see when you come to the forum the first time. Thanks in advance.

It is still not legal, you just changed the numbers, a legal license does not look like that. :|

And my post up there, also states how to do it.

&lt;div id="userlinksguest"&gt;
&lt;p class="pcen"&gt;&lt;b&gt;{ipb.lang['guest_stuff']}&lt;/b&gt; ( &lt;a href="{ipb.script_url}act=Login&amp;CODE=00"&gt;{ipb.lang['log_in']}&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a href="{ipb.script_url}act=Reg&amp;CODE=00"&gt;{ipb.lang['register']}&lt;/a&gt; )

The benefits of registering with us...
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;blah blah&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;blah blah&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;blah blah&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;etc...&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/else&gt;

That is just an example, you can do whatever you want with it. You can change the colors of it, to not look like "a warning" remember, guests only see this anyways, or members not logged in, but it goes away when they do login. Just change the CSS and look for "userlinksguest" to change the colors/background, etc. And also as I said before you can find this template in All Global HTML > member_bar

The license is real just need to take a day and figure out how to install the forum again and use it in the install. But from my understanding from the person who owns itis that he installed it on the registration section and that's how it came out. I do have to look into it anyways do to the fact even though it's not my forum I do host it. Well thanks for the help and I'll read you later.

Bullsh1t. If you put ?ipscheck=1 on a licensed board, it would not show anything even close to that.

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By +mram · Posted

      Because Chrome is doing it. And no one said anyone had to update immediately. That's silly. They could update every day for all I care as long as it's fast, and the next time the browser restarts, you're good. And the basic point is not to tee it up for bigger updates. As it is right now, all the windows I had open reopen anyway except inprivate.

      Why? Does anybody actually want this? The constant need to close all browser sessions and wait for a new version to install, just so that there’s a integrated coupon manager feels like a waste of everyone’s time

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By zikalify · Posted

      Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates by Paul Hill Microsoft has just announced that starting with Edge 152, it will be moving to a two-week release cycle for faster, smaller updates. This faster release cadence will begin on August 27. This change comes just several months after Microsoft switched Visual Studio Code to weekly updates. The company said that the Extended Stable releases will remain on an eight-week cycle and that no admin changes are needed to experience the faster release cycle on the Stable channel. The new two-week release cycle will enable the faster delivery of security updates and platform improvements, all while reducing the size and complexity of individual updates. Microsoft claims that organizations will benefit from this change as it offers predictable validation cycles. For organizations that prefer a “more deliberate pace”, the Extended Stable channel remains an option. This change will affect Edge Stable releases on Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile. The Extended Stable channel will continue to be updated every eight weeks, or every fourth Stable release, for example: versions 152, 156, 160, and 164. The Extended Stable could be a good option for organizations that don’t want the latest updates twice a month and don’t want as much hassle constantly updating browsers. In the case of Visual Studio Code, many of the updates being pushed by Microsoft are AI-related. As we all know, Microsoft Edge has a lot of AI features, so we could see Microsoft pushing more AI, thanks to the faster cycles. On the flip side, quicker releases could mean faster security updates, which is beneficial in a world where AI systems are hunting for software exploits. What do you think? Let us know in the comments. For more updates on Edge, be sure to follow Neowin's coverage. In May alone, we reported on Edge offering in-browser pop-ups to assist users with website compatibility issues, that Edge was losing Copilot Mode, and that Microsoft had fixed a plain-text password bug in Edge.
