Simple global announcement

Inspired by the Welcome headers hack I wanted to add a simple global announcement that I could turn on and off via the admin cp and change the announcement from acp.

The Dynamic Announcements hack is a bit more than I require so I wrote my own simple global announcement hack.

To install import the xml file as a product in the Plugin Manager.

To enable the announcement goto vBulletin options and open settings for "Global annoucement". Here You can enable/disable the announcement and enter the text to display.

Change history.

1.1.0 Made the announcement box collapsable. See here for 3.6.x version.
1.3.0 Now compatible with vB 3.7.0 RC 1. No template edits required.
