Where do you see that link? I'm not aware of a "new messages" link in Phorum.

Talking in general, you can use the Custom Language Database module to tweak language strings in Phorum. You might however be talking about some module language string or so, in which case this module can't be used IIRC.

On a single language forum, it also possible to tweak a template, to not make use of a {LANG->Something} language variable, but to enter the required string directly in the template.

lol Maurice you have to make it real simple for this old man, what i call new message link is where it shows your name and

Welcome! Log In . Create A New Profile . Recent Messages across the top bar on front page

its recent messages not new messages and i want to change it to new posts because the users get confused that recent messages is their pm messages. and it is a single language phorum

Okay, "Recent Messages" makes it more clear. You already added that link in the header.tpl of your template yourself. All you have to do is modify it to your likings.

You now have something like this in there if you followed the Recent Messages module's README file:

   <a href="{URL->RECENT_MESSAGES}">
     {LANG->mod_recent_messages->RecentMessages}
   </a>

You can change that to:

   <a href="{URL->RECENT_MESSAGES}">New Posts</a>
