    open /home/natschat/public_html/forum/Sources/Subs.php
    and look at the lines 1852 and 1883
    there has to be something like this:
    theme_seocopyright() {
    code
    }

    copy the two codes here, including theme_seocopyright() {
    }

    you have to delete this
    // Show the SMFSEO copyright...
    function theme_seocopyright($get_it = false)
    {
    global $forum_seocopyright, $context, $boardurl, $forum_version, $txt;
    static $foundseo = false;
    
    // Meaning, this is the footer checking in..
    if ($get_it === true)
    return $foundseo;
    
    echo '
    <span class="smalltext" style="display: inline; visibility: visible; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;">';
    
    if ($get_it == 'none')
    {
    $foundseo = true;
    echo '
    The administrator doesn\'t want a copyright notice saying this software is copyright 2006 by <a href="http://www.smfseo.org/" target="_blank">SMFSEO.org</a>, funded by a <a href="http://www.mortgagesearchlive.com/">mortgage</a> broker and implemented by the <a href="http://mytreo.net/">treo</a> smartphone guy, so the forum will honor this request.';
    }
    // If it's in the seo copyright, and we are outputting it... it's been found.
    elseif ((strpos($forum_seocopyright, '<a href="http://www.mortgagesearchlive.com/">mortgage</a>') !== false || strpos($forum_seocopyright, '<a href="http://www.mortgagesearchlive.com/" target="_blank">mortgage</a>') !== false) && (strpos($forum_seocopyright, '<a href="http://mytreo.net/">treo</a>') !== false || strpos($forum_seocopyright, '<a href="http://mytreo.net/" target="_blank">treo</a>') !== false))

    I get this when I go to your boards,
    Sorry, the SMFSEO copyright must be in the template.
    Fix it ASAP, as your forum appears to be in it's initial stage and this will only give a bad impression about the boards!
