You add that to your navbar or header tempalte where you would like to to appear, and replace, message with the mesage you want.

Are you talking about the one that looks like the IE SP2 warning message?

Throw this at the very top of your header template:

<if condition="($show['guest']) AND (THIS_SCRIPT != 'register') AND (THIS_SCRIPT != 'login')">
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td width="100%">
<div id="infobar"><a href="http://www.theflyfishingforum.com/forums/register.php?referrerid=1">It appears you have not yet registered with our community. To register for free please click here...</a><embed src="infobar.wav" autostart="true" loop="0" hidden="true" width="128" height="128"></div>


SInce you are not using a CMS open the zip file and place the contents in the root directory of your forums. Change the red text to match your site.

Rock on!

im doing exactly as you're saying but when I try to save the header template it gives me this

The following error occurred when attempting to evaluate this template:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /home/vhosts/radioonev5.com/var/www/html/forum/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(3096) : eval()'d code on line 1

This is likely caused by a malformed conditional statement. It is highly recommended that you fix this error before continuing, but you may continue as-is if you wish.

Try this:

<if condition="($show['guest']) AND (THIS_SCRIPT != 'register') AND (THIS_SCRIPT != 'login')">
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td width="100%">
<div id="infobar"><a href="http://www.theflyfishingforum.com/forums/register.php?referrerid=1">It appears you have not yet registered with our community. To register for free please click here...</a><embed src="infobar.wav" autostart="true" loop="0" hidden="true" width="128" height="128"></div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</if>


Sorry forgot to close the statement.

[Snitz]

[mholtum]

Do you mean this one? http://www.vbadvanced.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7272 that is my scrolling annoouncement addon.
