When i go to the site it's just a big page that says "Sorry, the copyright tag must be in the template.
Please notify this forum's administrator that this site is using an ILLEGAL copy of YaBB!"

If you go to the main page (http://www.silvercreator.net) you'll see that Mike has uploaded a new site template.  He may be working on formatting the forums to reflect the main site.

How can it be an illegal copy if it's free?

Because it's provided free of charge provided you keep the YaBB copyright in the template. So technically it's illegal because he "broke" the contract.

That copyright message was only on there for about 5 minutes. I was adjusting the template to the new design. I did not break any copyrights, it was only a side-effect of getting the whole template implemented.

It's supposed to be red, like the traditional SilverCreator logo ("Silver" is silver/grey, and "Creator" is red). I didn't want to put full-on red text there though.

Right now it says:

Sorry, the copyright tag  must be in the template.
Please notify this forum's administrator that this site is using an ILLEGAL copy of YaBB!


That language is pretty harsh considering it's free software. That makes it sound like Mike is using pirated software which he isn't.

I think it might look better in a brighter red.

I don't see that error anywhere at all. Try clearing your cache and stuff.

Never mind. I know what's wrong. Your account is set to the new theme for some reason. I need to erase that theme.

It's all fixed now. I renamed the Yabb 2.1 theme to "default" and then erased the options for Yabb 2.1 theme. Now you can only choose "default", which is really Yabb 2.1 theme (which is the closest to the old Yabb 1 that I can get)
