Hello i have installed the 100 farms themepack on my wordpress mu installation, however all of the themes seems to have links pointing to wordpress.com and wordpress.org, is there a way to change or remove these links?
i have installed the Rebranding WordPress MU plugin but those links still exist.

In that case, yes.
Best bet would be to come up with a check list of things to review or modify on all themes before adding in one. Here's a (very) abbreviated list of what we do for themes:
General
* Remove any hardcoding of datetime stamp
* Add support wp_link_pages
== Header ==
* Remove mention of wordpress from meta lines
* Custom header image (Add to list in faqs)
== CSS ==
* Check descriptions in the css file
* Add tags
== Sidebar ==
* Remove wordpress links from Meta section
* Add links to main site and support forums in meta section
* Support for widgets
== Comments ==
* Avatar support
* Add support for threaded comments
== Pages ==
* Multiple Page Support
* Page template for List of Articles
* Page template for Months with links to day pages
* Page template for Authors
* Page template for Most Read Posts
* Author Page support
== Screencap ==
* Turn screencap into a *.jpg file
* Make into a 300 × 225 sized image
== WP-Footer ==
* Make sure All Wordpress links are removed
* Add links to main site
* Query count

Not a problem. I politely point out that we actually have about a dozen more check items on there. (ie Additional page templates, check to make sure certain plugins work ok with the themes, etc.) Your list is something you may want to sit down and work out before adding in any new themes but that'll work for a start.
Oh, and the two lines for Authors under pages are two separate items. One is the Author page while the other is a single page where all of the authors' information is collected. (ie If a blog has 5 people listed as contributor and above, it lists all 5 and give their info.)

Add to that checklist a check to make sure that the post or comment author's name is being displayed at the one they've chosen on their Your Profile page.

Also add to that checklist a check within the theme's header.php for any hardcoded robots.txt meta tags in there. We've had a bit of a rash of those recently.

On one of the forums I visit, we discovered a theme that hardcodes it's comment author links without the customary nofollow. Rather surprised at that as I've not seen that before.
Now on the checklist for us and I have the pleasure of going back through out batch of themes looking for that as well.

I found out how, you edit the wpmu-functions.php in wp-includes.

is there a way to remove the "powered by wordpressmu" link as well?
Keeper of the Dark Chocolate — 17th May 2009 (3 years ago) #
We discussed the default links a few days ago along with suggested plugins:
http://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic.php?id=1101
Which "powered by wordpressmu" link are you talking about? A link or a description of what you;re looking at would be a plus.

The wordpress mu link on the footer of all blogs where it says:
blabla´s blog is proudly powered by WordPress MU running on blabla. Create a new blog and join in the fun!
Keeper of the Dark Chocolate — 17th May 2009 (3 years ago) #
So you;re looking at the bottom of a blog? That's hard coded into the theme's footer.php file.

Ok so you need to remove the links from all the theme´s footer.php?

Plus, I'd highly recommend using EditPlus3 to find the default text in all files, open them all and then replace them all in one easy movement!

Anyone else have anything to add to that checklist? Care to share? Share to care?

Check/fix the logout link if the theme contains one?

Good one but we use an internally coded replacement widget that give users the option of what they want displayed in the meta area.
Something like this:
