Each Announcement shows as an extra thread in Forumdisplay
 

Ok, this Hack shows each Announcement in forumdisplay, instead of just the newest one.
Also, if you make the Template-changes, you won't see all Announcements, if you click on just one.

Requested at vbulletin-germany.com

Should work with all vb2.2.x version, tested at 226 and 225

small, but important ;)

Hi Xenon!!
Since 2 Weeks i?ve searched for this!!
This make announcements so much effectiv!!
Very easy install - works like a charm!! [clicked install] !! ;)

Great hack,thank you.

It SHOULD be standard behaviour, which only makes your hack all the more needed Xenon. :D

Why there isn't at least an option to do that in vBulletin is one of the bigger design flaws the board has - but with a great board, the biggest mistakes are still small. ;)

Xenon,

Great hack! One of the first things I noticed when I purchased vBulletin was the lack of the ability to do this. Kudos.

As far as making it the standard behavior in vBulletin, I think it should be an option. I.e. When creating a new announcement, have a checkbox to make it appear as a separate thread. That way announcements that have a higher level of importance appear as a separate thread, but others can be grouped together. This is especially important for a forum with a large number of announcements.
