Removing "Powered By MyBB"

[mammut]

I would like to remove "Powered By MyBB" and replace it with a picture with the same text on.

I would like to do this because spambots are using footprints like these, and when they've found your forum you'll get tons of crap posted.

Is it possible to do? If so, how? I won't break the terms this way, would I?

You have to pay $85,

It is fine to have a picture with the copyright in it, and the picture linking back to http://www.mybboard.net/
The once-off fee that blueparukia is talking about is only if you wish to remove the copyright completely.

We do this in the footer part of Template.
For example i have a picture "copyright.jpg" on root directory.
How i must change Footer template, that it complies to MYBB-copyright.
I mean makeing the Picture clickable and it brings you to Mybborard.net website?

Also i use German Mybb. German translators from mybboard.de also have their copyright in it. So i must make a clickable picture for them too.
this picture i will name "german-copyright.jpg".

This is copyright part of Template:

<!-- End copyright -->

How do i replace Textlinks with clickable Images?
And can i also make a copyright from myself as picture and add it under your copyrights?

[Ryan Loos]

I am not sure of what mybboard.de requires in regards to copyrights - you will have to contact them about that issue.

For the how, see this tutorial: http://community.mybboard.net/showthread.php?tid=10234

Yes, that guide helped. I now changed Text copyrights with Image copyrights from Mybboard.net and Mybboard.de

But The 2 copyrights are not vertical aligned, but horizontal. Was not my motive to do so, but this is the result.

Now in footer right next to "Imprint.php"-Textlink comes English-copyright-Image-LINK and right next to that German-Copyright-Image-LINK.

Before it was 2 boxes in Footer, but for me it does not matter.
Thank you both.

Could I please have a screenshot?

Thanks,

Yes, here is the screenshot.
Image-Links are horizontal aligned and not vertical, as before with Text-Links.

So your footer template should look something like this..

			<br />
			<div class="bottommenu"><span class="smalltext"><a href="{$mybb->settings['contactlink']}">{$lang->bottomlinks_contactus}</a> | <a href="{$mybb->settings['homeurl']}">{$mybb->settings['homename']}</a> | <a href="#top">{$lang->bottomlinks_returntop}</a> | <a href="#content">{$lang->bottomlinks_returncontent}</a> | <a href="<archive_url>">{$lang->bottomlinks_litemode}</a> | <a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/misc.php?action=syndication">{$lang->bottomlinks_syndication}</a></span>
			</div>
			</div>
		<hr class="hidden" />
			<div id="copyright">
				<div id="debug"><debugstuff></div>
