You would need to alter the index.template.php file, down towards the end where the copyright information is.

   echo '

   <div id="footerarea" style="text-align: center; padding-bottom: 1ex;', $context['browser']['needs_size_fix'] && !$context['browser']['is_ie6'] ? ' width: 100%;' : '', '">
      <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"><!-- // --><![CDATA[
         function smfFooterHighlight(element, value)
         {
            element.src = smf_images_url + "/" + (value ? "h_" : "") + element.id + ".gif";
         }
      // ]]></script>
      <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center" width="100%">
         <tr>
            <td width="28%" valign="middle" align="', !$context['right_to_left'] ? 'right' : 'left', '">
               <a href="http://www.mysql.com/" target="_blank"><img id="powered-mysql" src="', $settings['images_url'], '/powered-mysql.gif" alt="', $txt['powered_by_mysql'], '" width="54" height="20" style="margin: 5px 16px;" onmouseover="smfFooterHighlight(this, true);" onmouseout="smfFooterHighlight(this, false);" /></a>

            </td>
                           <td valign="middle" align="center" style="white-space: nowrap;" class="smalltext">
                                        ', theme_copyright(), '
', tportal_version() , '
                                </td>

I tired putting it in here and it gave errors...

It looks like it migh call in another file for the bottom?

I put my copyright information in that area. Where exactly did you put yours?

Here's what mine looks like.

If you can wait, there will eventually be a way to have a block at the center bottom of every page, but I don't know when it's going to be implemented.

Cool, thanks for the code JPDeni!   :up:

I applied it to my site as well   

[JPDeni]

Glad to help.

When the center bottom block becomes available, I intend to remove that from the index.template.php file and put it into a block. This is only temporary.

That would be cool, this way you don't have to update all your index.template.php files like I do.
