great hack I will install this later! :)

if you want to do formatting, you are welcome to go ahead and do this in your template :D

old version file - no formatting

yea, i like it. ti's a good way to keep people reminded of stuff that would be going on. before you would have to hope they looked in the announcement, with this hack you are guaranteed the members will see it if they go on your board. :)

question. Is this always visible, or is there a way to turn it off?

it is only visible if there is a thread intro in the database for that particular thread. if not, the table disappears.

So if the thread has been deleted, it will not show, correct?

I'm somewhat confused as to how this works now that I've read this whole thread. Is it similar to the Bike forums, or something different?

Is it an actual link to a thread?

Look @ the screenshot - it's at the top of showthread.php in any threads that the administrator creates thread introductions for. If there is no thread introduction set, the table will disappear.

i get the feeling this isnt catching on
