Where might I edit our forum homepage?

[flowerpot132]

Hi. I have some text on our forum homepage. Our forum is members only so the homepage is actually the login page and under the login area is some text all about the forum.

Can you give me a clue on where i might edit the text in that bit from the back end please? What would I search for to find the html. I just want to correct (my own) spelling mistake.

Any help much appreciated, thank you

You can check for customised components using the link in the sidebar in the ACP, but I suspect it is either the login templates you have edited, or possibly a phrase which is present on those templates.

Ok thanks, might need some help with this please. So i can see over 7000 phrases. Anyway way for me to get an idea of what it could be called? It wouldn't be in the front end source code no?

Ok had a look at that.

Some of the text in the area on the homepage is "encourage communication"

So if i use this:
forum/admin.php?phrases/search

And add the words "encourage communication" it should bring up the phrase right?

But it doesn't bring anything up.

Try searching the templates for it - you may have added the content directly rather than via a phrase.
