I already have the first version of this installed, what should I do to upgrade?

Upgrade instructions
Copy the new commbull.php file over your existing (backup your old one first) one.
Access the commbull.php either through the Admin CP or directly through web browser.
Installation will appear and install new user table field.
Read the installation instructions. There are some additional fields to be added. Mainly for the "user option to select html or text" in a template and the member.php file.
For additional Admin options see the attached admin_commbull text file.

In general, any comments or feedback?

This hack is wonderful!! The only feature left I could imagine asking for is remembering settings. Seriously, this is great work. I know you built upon a great hack, but your contribution shouldn't be underestimated.

People who are using earlier versions of this have no idea what they are missing. :)

Thank you :) it was a nice upgrade.

Working fine and installation was a snap.

Yes. Is there an easy way to change the appearance of the HTML email sent out? Some easy way to change the colors, fonts, etc. Maybe make it take these things from the board's own styles.

I noticed a SIGNIFICANT improvement in how many people actually came to check out the board because of the bulletin.

I have been sending out the old style bulletin for months, with pretty decent results. However, the new style brought in people that haven't logged on in ages. And they stuck around to read stuff instead of just going to the control panel to turn off the bulletin option.

Nice job :)

It is pretty much hard coded. I wanted to keep the html output to a minimum. There are some color variables in the commbull.php file to change the colors. Just look for this section.

// HTML Color Variables
$cbgLink = "";
$cbgVLink = "";
$cbgALink = "";
$cbgTitleText = "#41344A";
$cbgTableHead = "#626194";
$cbgTHFontColor = "#FFF788";
$cbgTableCategory = "#A4A1CD";
$cbgTableCells = "#E7E7F1";

Great update, the html bulletin looks awsome, thanks guys.
