Mini Mods - Add URL to profile to welcome message in navbar

Introduction:
One of the few things which annoy me about vB is having to look for a link for my profile (either a post or in the WOL), unlike in IPB. So, I wrote this little template edit to make my life a bit easier ;).

The edits:

Open up the Navbar template (Admincp -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> Select the "Edit Templates" options in the dropdown next to the skin you wish to edit -> Click "[« »]" next to "Navigation / Breadcrumb Templates" -> Click [Edit] next to "navbar")

Find:

You must first be a registered member to view any code.

Replace it with:

You must first be a registered member to view any code.

Press save!

This will change the:

Welcome, Deaths.
You last visited: Today at 10:55 AM
Private Messages: Unread 0, Total 74.

Text into:
Welcome, Deaths.
You last visited: Today at 10:55 AM
Private Messages: Unread 0, Total 74.

PLEASE NOTE:
This may not work on custom styles. If you have a custom style and wish to apply this hack but can't, post the navbar template (and possibly a link to your site) and I'll see if I can help.

Thanks for this. I did something like this on the testboards, but ever got around to editing the phrase on this board. :p

Hehe, np =).

Editing the phrase is possible aswell, but that simply makes the hack a lot more complicated for newer users I guess.

I was wondering, on a previous board i've seen the Welcome, (username) changed to What's Going on, is there a way to edit that code to possibly change it to what ever I want?

Excellent! Thanx for sharing
I do have one suggestion - It's for those who are using the User Name HTML Markup code to desplay different color for different user groups...

You must first be a registered member to view any code.

[username] becomes [musername]
This displays the colored User Name in the navbar ;)
Just a little something I thought to add to the code!

Jacquii.

You must first be a registered member to view any code.
