This was a request.
Go to Admin -- Structure -- Layout templates -- forum wrapper
remove the following line:
{if !$[current_user.is_member]}
Welcome Guest. Please $[login_link] or $[register_link].
{else}
<span>Welcome $[current_user.name].</span> $[logout_link]
{/if}
if you want to keep the "welcome guest" then just remove:
{else}
<span>Welcome $[current_user.name].</span> $[logout_link]

Is it possible to replace "Guest" with another word? Yep, it's just plain text. It's things inside these < arrows > of HTML tags and the $[blah] variables that you want to be careful about changing. |

Thanks Shrike! ... but... I'm sorry I'm that ignorant  ... How exactly am I supposed to replace one word with another  ? in v4 there is this code here: <script> document.getElementsByTagName("td").item(2).innerHTML = document.getElementsByTagName("td").item(2).innerHTML.replace(/Guest/i,"visitor").replace(/hey,/i,"Welcome"); </script> But I think in v5 something different is needed, isn't it? |

Do you mean where it says "Welcome Guest. Please login or register" at the end of the menu? Find this part of code in the forum wrapper template as per the instructions in Justin's post above and simply change Guest to what you want: {if !$[current_user.is_member]}
Welcome Guest. Please $[login_link] or $[register_link]. |

Find the code in the first page again, I've coloured it in for you to show you what to do. =] {if !$[current_user.is_member]}
Welcome Guest. Please $[login_link] or $[register_link].
{else}
<span>Welcome $[current_user.name].</span> $[logout_link]
{/if}The word Guest in purple is what displays on the screen. You can change that simply by deleting it, and typing over it. No coding or fancy stuff needed. The bit in orange is the bit you're wanting to remove - it contains the "Welcome *name*. Logout" text. Nice and easy. =] Like Shrike said before, if it's not a $[variable ] or <html >, feel free to play. The best way to do it is to have your template open in one tab/window, and the forum open in another. That way, if you make a change to the template, you can view it in the forum by clicking to the other tab and hitting refresh. If you like what you see, brilliant. If not, just head back to the template tab and undo, save again. No harm done. =] ed; sorry Shrike, must have had the window open a while before I replied mate. =P |

Ok, I added the <!--/--> to that code but noticed that altering that will remove the logout link. I would like to keep the logout but get rid of the "Welcome Name" part but adding the <!-- part to the other things just messes up the looks. The "Logout" ends up a bit above the other menu buttons and looks messy. If I remove all that with the <!--/--> to the whole code is there a way to get a "Logout" link to the menu with the other buttons that will be aligned with the rest? atm I did this "<!--<span>Welcome $[current_user.name].</span>-->" but then the logout ends up against the banner instead of in the middle as the rest of the buttons. Same goes for the "Welcome guest login.." text as you can see here: link |

I decided to set it all back again since it was screwing up the alignment with the links in the menu row the "Welcome guest.." and "Welcome <Name>" part is still messed up and not aligned with the menu links.
AFAIK I haven't changed anything with the code all I did was adding the <!--/--> to the code and removed it when i noticed it didn't do as I wanted and that it wasn't aligned but that didn't set things back to the original way it was.
Anyone know how to get that aligned and set up as it was?

I guess there is an easier way, but, anyway, if you temporarily create a brand new default theme and then confrontate its Forum Wrapper's Layout Template with the one of the theme you're talking about, you should be able to see what's wrong... Or not  ?! |

Or not ?! Seems to be the only option atm so gave it a shot, made a new theme and then copied and pasted the code in and it worked. Tyvm for the help |

Here's the config to remove the "Welcome..." part, leaving "Please login..." and/or "Logout." You have to hide both welcomes: <p id="welcome">
{if !$[current_user.is_member]}
<!--Welcome, Guest. -->Please $[login_link] or $[register_link].
{else}
<!--<span>Welcome, $[current_user.name].</span> -->$[logout_link]
{/if}
</p>
