Yes it works perfectly in vba.

Add "submessage" to the global settings under your vbacmps and instead of forumhome, put it under adv_portal below $navbar

I've installed this plugin and so far so good! I've got the notification bar showing below my navbar. However, there is lots of whitespace above and below it.

Is there a simple way I can reduce the amount of whitespace?

Thanks,

Jon

Edit the alert template through your template manager and you can remove the extra padding.

Thanks for replying. I am not sure what you mean by my template manager. Do you mean I go to Styles & Templates > Style Manager and then find an alert template there? I can't seem to find an alert template, but not sure if I am looking in the right place or not.

Sorry, so little vB 3 activity I didn't notice you were on that version still...

You'll want to edit the welcome headers templates to change the styles / padding... Templates are located in the styles & templates area under templates, not styles.

I still can't work out where you mean. I have gone to Styles & Templates > Style Manager. Then I choose Edit Templates using the drop down box on the right. Then I expand all templates so I can see a big list. But there are none called Welcome Headers.

Am I still looking in the wrong place?

Right place, wrong instructions (that's a new record for me confusing myself on what mod I'm talking about)...

The templates used in this mod are:

sub_expirations
sub_recent_subscriber_bit

Thanks for following up on that. I found the code for the tables there but in fact I think its the wrong place for me to look. I want to reduce the space above and below that table rather than inside it. So perhaps its the navbar template I need to look at.
