Hoping to make a simple change to the menu at the top of my entrance page and forums page. Little help on which file to modify if I want to change "Entrance" to "Home".

Thanks.

The easiest thing to find such things is to search all files of the threads directory(and the sub directories) for "Entrance"

Go into the Admin Panel, then into 'Edit a template'. Then you have 2 templates to edit. One for those who are logged in, ubbt_registerednav.tmpl, and one for those who are not, ubbt_unregisterednav.tmpl.

Perfect -- thanks. Taking it one step further, I also want to change 'Main Index' to something else, like 'Message Boards'. Using the same templates for what I did with Entrance, it seems to be picking up a variable. Here is the code:

{$ubbt_lang['FORUM_IND']}

Can I simply change this with a hard code value and not lose the link?

Just change it in your language file instead.

If you don't know which file it is, simply do a search for this text string...

$ubbt_lang['FORUM_IND']

...in your 'languages' subfolder.

Worked like a charm. Thanks Twisty.
