there is a plugin which can give two different messagees i.e. for Guest and Logged in users (thats what it says)
However,
i cant see any welcome msg neither as a guest nor as a logged in user after successfully activating the plugin..
Is there ANYTHING ELSE? am i supposed to do here?
Are you using the defualt MyBB Theme?
Well, it sounds like the variable isn't being added to your theme template. Check in your index template and see if $wm is listed after $header
<a name="top" id="top"></a>
<div id="container">
<div id="header">
<center><IMG SRC="/forum/images/Slick_Pro/mainlogo.gif" WIDTH=800 HEIGHT=120 ALT="Watch Dogz"></center>
<div class="menu">
<ul>
<li><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/index.php"><img src="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/{$theme['imgdir']}/toplinks/home.gif" alt="Home" />
<a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/downloads.php"><img src="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/{$theme['imgdir']}/toplinks/download.gif" alt="Downloads Section" /><!--{$lang->toplinks_games}--></a></li><li><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/games.php"><img src="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/{$theme['imgdir']}/toplinks/games.gif" alt="Games" /><!--{$lang->toplinks_games}--></a></li><li><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/slots.php"><img src="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/{$theme['imgdir']}/toplinks/casino.gif" alt="Slot Machine" /><!--{$lang->toplinks_slots}--></a></li><li><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/memberlist.php"><img src="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/{$theme['imgdir']}/toplinks/memberlist.gif" alt="" /><!--{$lang->toplinks_memberlist}--></a></li><li><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/calendar.php"><img src="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/{$theme['imgdir']}/toplinks/calendar.gif" alt="" /><!--{$lang->toplinks_calendar}--></a></li>

this is what i have
Well, it's not after your header, but it is there. So I have no idea why it isn't working. Sorry.
Have you updated the settings in the setting manager? Try just saving the settings and you should be good.
i tried to save the settings but it isnt working..
let me add this
i m NOT using default theme... i have got slick-pro theme
Um, lets see then. Your sure settings.php is chmodded correctly?
in admin/setting.php everything i chcked i mean ALL the permissions are given
He meant; ./inc/settings.php ; is that still CHMOD'd 777 ?
