under where is says welcome blah blah blah, I would like to remove the forum name because I am pretty sure the header and the message in the overview all get it across nicely. Shouldn't be too hard but i looked a bit and couldn't find anything obvious.
You might want to include a screen shot of what you mean!
I think the code you're looking for is in global.php...
// Add our main parts to the navigation
$navbits[0]['name'] = $mybb->settings['bbname'];
$navbits[0]['url'] = $mybb->settings['bburl']."/index.php";
Commenting it out or just deleting it should get rid of the board name in the navigation.
I wanted to do this as well, but ONLY on the index page. Since it's in global.php, I don't suppose I could do that.
Galen: you could put this in index.php...
$navbits = array();
Just make sure it's somewhere after global.php is included, and before output_page() is called.
Edit: BTW, both modifications I suggested in this thread could be done with plugins, using the "global_end" and "index_start" hooks, respectively.
so removing this will remove the breadcrumbs?
No, it will only remove the link to "index"
