changing phpbb disabled message

ChrisCh

hey, does anybody know how to change the message that appears if you disable your phpbb board (a setting on the configuration tab)? If it helps, the message that i'm trying to change is "Sorry, but this board is currently unavailable. Please try again later."

thanks a lot!

you could try downloading the phpbb forum software from phpbb.com and searching for that text in the scripts. When you find out which script has the text, simply edit the script and upload to replace the one on your frihost web space.

i tried that, and it didnt work (i searched within the files, and searching for the whole phrase didn't work, so i searched for the words "currently unavailable" (without quotes), and still said that no files in the phpbb folder contain those words. i unzipped the files so that i could search, but its still not working.

would it maybe be something in MySQL? (im on server 2, so i had to setup my forum myself, it wasn't done by fantastico)
