To the bottom of every page of my site, it's link to another forum website. I have the code to add just want to make sure where to put it. Do I need to go into my server, or is it something I can do within my SMF template that I use? TIA for any help on this.

you would need to edit the footer section of index.template.php for every theme you use...

(although possible, it is not recommended to use the internal template editor to modify files -  edits should be done via FTP and a text editor like notepad++)

you mean the copyright of a mod you have installed? if so you can not modify it unless the mod author approves. if you want something else, you need to provide more details including if this is a free or paid request.

The OP wants to ADD a link to the footer.

What I meant, was there was no where, that the OP even mentioned a mod installed, nor was a copyright mentioned.
That was why I thought you may have misread the original post. ;)

he says there is a link to another forum... that could be from a mod

ah, you did misread...  :P

He started the sentence in the thread title and finished in the post... (and also used bad punctuation)   it makes more send it you read the whole thing like this...

Thank you, that did the trick! I would like to learn how to do it without a mod, any advise for a newbie where to go to learn about such things?
