[imported_Mike Gaidin]

Much better looking. :)

[Floris]

Installing as we speak. Thank you for sharing. Nice addition to my site, since I am using an announcement most of the time.

[Floris]

Hi,

Very cool addition and it looks great on my board.

The only downer I found was that when I use subforums, like in my development board (supah secret one hehe) it puts the announcement in between them. You have a way that it will be on top, even if you have sub forums? See screenshot. It is ok if you don't, because I only use sub forums at extremly rare occassions.

[crocket]

cool, thanx :D

I'm looking to fix it now. :)

[Xelation]

all fixed xiphoid... I updated the attachment.

[Floris]

Great
The only thing that changed is another position of the <div align="center">$announcement</div><br> code right?

no, the forumdisplay_announcement only needs to be changed to, all you need to do with that one is take out the $announcement

[Xelation]

if you need to compare the old file to the new if you already installed you can do so by downloading this old file.

[Blue]

i already use this cool hack ;)

[Aros]

Very good! Might use this ones ;) I surely looks better then the default anouncement :)

[imported_SWRoleplay.com]

Very useful! Installed.

[Trust]

@ GamerForums: What a code :p The code f*cked up the whole page :p :p

[Judd]

slight problem, might have been an accident somewhere.

I installed it all and it says "Announcement - Please Read Avatar Set Up By Judd on 07-08-2002 "

But it's not a link, its just txt. What have i done wrong?

*scratches head*

[DeMiNe0]

um what the **** are you talking about? I made this code I will not give you any credit at all for this code. Take a look at your code and take a look at my code, they are very different.

[DeMiNe0]

LOL, the only difrence is the <HR>s

[SaintDog]

Please refrain from acusing other members of stealing unless there is valid proof. The modification that Xelation made seperates the announcement section from the threadlist, whereas yours does not.

[rukasu]

schweet. The Xelation site is awesome btw.

[eGoR]

wow... thats the one main part of my forums and now it'll looks so cute ;)
thx to ya, m8

[dourden]

reallllllllly cool
thx a lot m8

Attitudes and accusatory remarks like this ruin the community spirit and deter people from releasing their code for the rest of us to benefit from. :rolleyes:

[DaTeX]

Datex, take a look at the first post in this thread. What you're looking for is the template mod contained in this thread.

[DaTeX]

[imported_Derek]

Can someone make this hack work with the hack by Filbert at http://www.vbulletintemplates.com/mods/showthread.php?s=&threadid=2457 ? I attempted to, but it didn't work as I had planned. I didn't have too much time to retry.

[imported_Jester]

Well, I didn't use to use Announcements because I thought they looked too much like normal threads. But this totally designates them as being different. Looks like I just might start using them... Thanks Xelation!

[clicks install]

[Orfejs]

I'll install it on the next week.
I fall on my knees before you, my lord.

:o)

[Black Vivi]

[cYbercOsmOnauT]

Very nice! *installed* :)

[PurpleCow]

Real nice tweak, i liked it a lot and am using it also.

Sorry, i didn't read teh complete thread, however, are there any instructions to add a banner in the space between the announcemnt table and the regular threads table after using this tweak by Xelation??

Thank you very much

[YoricksRequiem]

Hey there, hope you don't get angry but I reworked the look of the announcement display on the top of the forums, I just think it looks a bit cleaner.

If you have a problem with me releasing this then just PM me and I will remove it, but instead of editing the forumdisplay_announcement to what it says in the kits install file, use this instead.
