Change 'by' to 'posted by'

[VED036]

I am posting some public domain books in my forum website.

I find that under the posts 'by' is coming along with my Username. This can give a wrong information, in that I am not the author of the book.

Is there any way to change the 'by' to 'posted by'?

Do you mean as in the pic below, under the topic/post title?

Since I am directed back here from this page, let me repeat the request.

Posted by or by is appearing in the Topic list.

I need to remove this by / Posted by in the Topic list. And not in the posts.

Can anyone please tell what is to be done?

and change to

purge the cache in ACP after.

I did do as per your instructions. I purged the cache in the APC and also did clean the browser cache.

However, I could see no change in the webpage.

Did I miss something? I found the file in Prosilver/template

Please wait. Let me check again.

I see that the codes you gave is repeated in the file. I removed both of them and replaced them with the code you gave. It has worked I see.

You have helped me.
