Hi all:
I hate like hell to do this, but I am stumped. I have gone over the install process 6 times now, and I just can't see what I've done wrong.
Installed the original hack. Changed it according to Hack 1 of the Hack to be able to show where desired.
I can get the static announcement to show up with no problems, anywhere I want.
I CANNOT get the popup to display anywhere!?!?! The text entry box appears in UserCP. I can take a static conditional that shows up fine and put it into the popup textarea and nothing.....
What could I have loused up to not make the popup work?
I am using the latest version of IE and a fairly hacked up vB 3.0.5
**EDIT** Just as an FYI, I can preview the popup template in the template editor and it looks as you would expect.....

Ok, I solved this and have egg on my face
Rather than delete my post, I am going to leave it there in case there is someone else out there who might run into this and pull their damn hair out.
The popup box was hidden by my .swf header

For whatever reason, the popup appears behind the .swf header, so since I only had a small amount of text in the box, I couldn't see it.
I suggest that if you think you can't find your popup box and you have a .swf header, change the positioning of your popup box so that it shows lower down on the page....
