That's not the default so someone must of already edited it either in the template or the language file. If you open the relevant template, in this case styles/prosilver/template/forumlist_body.html the stock placeholder for this is L_POST_BY_AUTHOR

Anything prefixed with a L_ is from the language files. If you search the language files you'll find this in language/en/common.php on line 610. Note the the "en" in the path and the line number may differ for different languages.

Code: Select all

	'POST_BY_AUTHOR'		=> 'by',

Yes. The OP edited it in a previous topic.
