That looks like it's a mistake in coding ... The copyright is there, as is their own

They are just overlapped by that butt ugly black box at the bottom

Still, it's not "Unaltered" as is required, ay?

JBlaze · February 17, 2011, 06:26:55 PM

It's been hidden with CSS, probably .footerBar

It's been hidden by 
Chrome:

Lines 881 through 905

Good catch mashby, it is done on purpose then - I just missed those...

Interestingly, SMF should be able to detect that and randomly (1/3 chance IIRC) remove the  around it...

Maybe they disabled that. Even I know how to do that. (But, I never did it.)

Happy late realization after all the discussion above... braavo! You got it right!

There are so many ways to get around the copyright detection code it's unreal.

Kindred · February 18, 2011, 10:23:32 AM

actually, it's not the  lines, as far as I can tell... it's the declaration of javascript just before the <!--.
They declare that the page should start javascript processing, but then include regulat HTML code instead of js.

BTW: The are also hiding the theme copyright and the simpleportal copyright.

I have to think that they just screwed up, because that footer is a MESS of poor, improper coding that looks like it was written by a 2 year old banging on the keyboard.

Not me, Guv!

Hey, I just noticed this thread. Didn't mean to take out the copyright...I must have messed up the coding by accident when I was putting in some links in the left of the footer. Anyone here able to help me correct it? I'm definitely not a coder so the help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Was able to figure it out. Thanks!
