| loco.m has a great forum that talks about optimizing vbulletin. You need to have a valid vb licence for his place. But even if you don't have vb, you can still benefit from this sage advice. All you gotta do is design a great welcome message in your favorite graphics program, and then save it as a jpeg. Then edit your templates. Where it allows you to change the welcome message, delete everything and just show the image. HTML Code: <img src="welcome.jpg" alt="welcome header" /> HTML Code: <a href="register.php"><img src="welcome.jpg" alt="welcome header" /></a>

| If you're worried specifically about SEO, you could easily use a conditional to limit the welcome/guest message to the forumhome, thus keeping the keywords in the welcome/guest message 'rich' and not over-spreading to non-related pages. Something such as: PHP Code: | ||||
