The reason it's not working is because the news title bar is in a td, not a span element. Also, is no "forum_news" class. There is a "forum_news" ID, however, which you could use to get to the News title bar.

Something like this would work:

Code:
Select All
 
  1. <script type="text/javascript">
  2. <!--
  3. /*Change News name
  4. Please do not repost
  5. http://icodes.vforums.co.uk*/
  6.  
  7. var forum_news = document.getElementById("forum_news").parentNode.previousSibling;
  8.  
  9. forum_news.innerHTML = forum_news.innerHTML.replace('News','Welcome to the {Forbidden}~{Reunion}');
  10.  
  11. //-->
  12. </script>

Oh ok I see

But sorry Marc, It did not work {Unsure}
Re: Change News name [support] - Posted By Marc (cr0w) on 8th Nov 08 at 9:46pm
Are you putting it in your Main Footer? The news fader loads after the headers, so the code needs to be placed in the footer to work. {Wink}

Ohh ok, that explains it, I did not know that {Tongue Out}

It works.

If you want you can add it to the code database.
