It seems like every new mod these days adds a copyright line to your footer. Each additional copyright notice line can add up and make the bottom of your page look unsightly.
Here are some simple templage changes to comply with the copyright notices and reclaim your footer. See my forum for an example.

1. Add a new CSS class. AdminCP->Styles & Templates->Style Manager->
Your Style->Main CSS
Add the following CSS to the Additional CSS Definitions section at the bottom of the page:
HTML Code:
/* nowrap for footer -EJC */
.nowrap { white-space:nowrap }
2. Edit your copyright notice. AdminCP->vBulletin Options->vBulletin Options->Site Name / URL / Contact Details
Update your Copyright Text - if you only have one sentence of text, you could add these changes directly to the template, but since I have two sentences, I add the style code here, so my sentences will wrap properly:
HTML Code:
<span class="nowrap">Logos and trademarks are the property of Voxilla or their respective owner.</span> <span class="nowrap">All other content ? 2003-2007 by Voxilla, Inc.</span>
3. Edit your footer template. AdminCP->Styles & Templates->Style Manager->
Your Style->Edit Templates->footer
Replace:
HTML Code:
<div align="center">
<div class="smallfont" align="center">
<!-- Do not remove this copyright notice -->
$vbphrase[powered_by_vbulletin]
<!-- Do not remove this copyright notice -->
</div>
<div class="smallfont" align="center">
<!-- Do not remove $cronimage or your scheduled tasks will cease to function -->
$cronimage
<!-- Do not remove $cronimage or your scheduled tasks will cease to function -->
$vboptions[copyrighttext]
</div>
</div>
With:
HTML Code:
<div align="center" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]">
<div class="smallfont" align="center">
<!-- Do not remove this copyright notice -->
<span class="nowrap">$vbphrase[powered_by_vbulletin]</span>
<!-- Do not remove this copyright notice -->
<span class="nowrap"><!--VBSEO_COPYRIGHT--></span>
$vboptions[copyrighttext]
<!-- Do not remove $cronimage or your scheduled tasks will cease to function -->
$cronimage
<!-- Do not remove $cronimage or your scheduled tasks will cease to function -->
</div>
</div>
If you are not running vBSEO, you can remove that span. If you have other copyright notices, add the span tags to those notices.
Your finished. Check your results.
All your copyright notices will now try to fit on a single line. If the page width is too short, the entire notice sentence will wrap and align center on the next line.
