All the links at bottom of pages

[kennethm]

All these links are at the bottom of each page. Anyway to get rid of all or some of these links? or is that a no-no thing to do?

The copyright for Simple Machines can be removed at your discretion but you would probably not get support from anyone here for doing that. The other copyright about SMFads would have to be discussed with that mods author.

what file would that smf copywrite be found at

[freakydeaky]

{theme}/index.template.php

Just realize this. If you remove the SMF copyright, the SMF team won't continue to provide support for any other questions. You'll notice no team members have told you how and I won't either. Removing it is your right and by doing so, you are also removing your entitlement to support here.

[kennethm]

well my original idea wasnt removing it but having the text somewhat smaller where it wasnt so obvious. So it is possible to make it smaller?

[mashby]

I'm sure it's possible. I have to ask why, of course. Considering it's in the bottom of the page, will it make that big of a difference?

[kennethm]

well its not life changing really, just seems woulkd be better smaller for me to be less obvious for the forum visitors to click on and want their own forum since im in a small rural area )

it's better to answer his question than ignore it... i merely told him where to find it, what he does with it is on him

ps... the copyright stays on my forum, i am proud to be powered by SMF

why not just answer his question?

kenneth...

open

{theme}/css/index.css

find

Code Select Expand

#footer_section span.smalltext {
    font-size: 110%;

adjust the percentage, let me know if this helps

Because you are doing so. Thanks for your contributions.

[freakydeaky]

you are quite welcome 

he doesn't want to remove it, he just wants to make it less noticeable... i personally see nothing wrong with that

[kennethm]

i can undserstand fully the copyright staying on there and its not a big deal it does, like i said i was just thinking of a way to not to be there or be smaller and less noticable. Smaller or changing the color, etc

[mashby]

I don't see anything wrong with it either. I also don't see anything wrong with leaving it alone. display:none; would certainly keep it intact for Google purposes. You have to keep in mind the context of this question. Hey, how do I minimize the credits of those who make my website work?!?

valid point

[kennethm]

so i take its a touchy subject to alter the footer area right? How about just changing it to a lighter color then? Its all still there just not as obvious.

[freakydeaky]

in your main theme css

{theme}/css/index.css

find

Code Select Expand

#footerarea {
text-align: center;
padding: 0;
color: #c1c1c1;
font:14px Arial,sans-serif;
}

try changing the color, go here for color codes http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_colornames.asp
