[[/($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==5)]]

If you make it like this:
[[($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==5 AND $dontshow==1)]]
my announcement
[[/($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==5 AND $dontshow==1)]]

This announcement will not be displayed to your moderators until you remove the "AND $dontshow==1" part. Because this variable check becomes the part of your conditional and it is never TRUE so conditional is always ignored.

Logician,

Thanks very much for answering my question, appreciated very much indeed. And yes, it covers my needs, at least 90%. The other 10% has to do with comments. Is there a comments tag or could you incorporate one? For example, I would love to have a comment, just above that conditional, saying "This is for moderators". In that way, I wouldn't have to go back and forth between the Usergroup management (to see which user group is No 5) and the announcements.

Me pressing install, very nice hack Sir.

Edit: Scrap that, I can always have the comment within an impossible conditional, within the conditional. Right?
