Hi all. I know i've done this before but now i can't remember how to find the file that i would need to edit to change the page that a user can register from. Currently, the text on the "http://mysite.com/modules.php?name=Your_Account&op=new_user" page reads:

Quote:

What exactly do you want to change? Some of the text is dependent on what modules you have activated.

You need to look at the function new_user around line 816 in:
/modules/Your_Account/index.php

...but you will see most of the text is defined in the language file, so you will probably need to edit the language file, depending on what you want to change.
