How do I change the message people see after they send a message from the site?

I recently saw a message on the Joomla forum that had a quick and easy answer.

The text of this message is part of the Joomla language file, and you can easily change it.

To edit the language file, go to Site -> Language Manager -> Site Languages.

Click on <English> (or whatever language you are using). This will load the language file into your editor.

Scroll down until you see the following line:

Code:

DEFINE('_THANK_MESSAGE','Thank you for your e-mail');

Simply change those words to whatever you want. So, for example:

Code:

DEFINE('_THANK_MESSAGE','Thank you for sending us a message.  We will be back in touch with you very soon.');

Watch your quotes / single quotes carefully.

Once you have changed the message, simply save the file and the next time, that message will be displayed.

There are a lot of Joomla's standard messages that can be customized here.
