Sure, ok, here's what you do.

Run these 2 queries

[SQL]
INSERT INTO setting (settinggroupid, title, varname, value, description, optioncode, displayorder) VALUES ('32', 'Message of the Day', 'motd', 'Enter your message here.....', 'Enter the message here.','textarea','1');
[/SQL]

[SQL]
INSERT INTO `settinggroup` VALUES (32, 'Message of the Day', 32);
[/SQL]

Open up index.php and find:

PHP Code:

eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate('forumhome')."\");"); 


Above that add:

PHP Code:

  eval("\$messageoftheday = \"".gettemplate('motd')."\";"); 


Create a new template called 'motd' and place in it

$motd

Then open up the forumhome template and place $messageoftheday anywhere you wish, now all you have do is go to vBOptions in your AdminCP and click on the "Message of the Day" link, and then add your message from there
