Move announcements back to above threads

1 Attachment(s)

By default in vB4 the annoucements are sort of floating right below the header for some unknown reason. They do come in a different color which is nice, but it's pretty hideous where it's currently at.

Open FORUMDISPLAY template locate and remove

Code:

<vb:if condition="$announcebits">

<ol id="announcements" class="announcements">

        {vb:raw announcebits}

</ol>

</vb:if>

Find:

Code:

                        <vb:if condition="$show['stickies']">                

                                <ol id="stickies" class="stickies">

                                        {vb:raw threadbits_sticky}

                                </ol>

                        </vb:if>

Add above (code we removed from step 1)

Code:

<vb:if condition="$announcebits">

<ol id="announcements" class="announcements">

        {vb:raw announcebits}

</ol>

</vb:if>

I know it's a simple change, but it looks much nice imo.

As above. I can't believe they moved it, it really looked out of place.

Although I agree, don't you think the default vb4 placement draws more attention to it? Makes it more...err..important so to speak.

Not really because no one looks there for threads or annoucements.

Hmm, installed. However, on the right side, the grey line seems to be missing next to the announcement. Is there any way to make that show up as well?

you could try to add border-left and border-right to the css for the annoucement bit, but I don't have the exact edit handy atm.

btw this works on 4.1.1

not too bad. Since we can place the announcement as forum specific, I was hoping it would remain above ALL thread within that forum. Not just at the forum root.

most people search the "what's new" and won't even bother to look at the forum root and will miss the announcement.

The instructions provied are sloppy and has a poor organization. Really, the steps could of been elaborate upon much much better. Could anyone assist me, perhaps by me allowing you my administration information to resolve the issue among the coing? This would be very much appreciated if applicable.
