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 <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- /Change News name Please do not repost http://icodes.vforums.co.uk/ var forum_news = document.getElementById("forum_news").parentNode.previousSibling; forum_news.innerHTML = forum_news.innerHTML.replace('News','Welcome to the {Forbidden}~{Reunion}'); //--> </script> <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- /Change News name Please do not repost http://icodes.vforums.co.uk/ var forum_news = document.getElementById("forum_news").parentNode.previousSibling; forum_news.innerHTML = forum_news.innerHTML.replace('News','Welcome to the {Forbidden}~{Reunion}'); //--> </script>

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.
