I'd like to get it working one people's forums first. I'd really like to take a look at azarl's forum because I'd like to know what the problem is.
I will then, once the bug is fixed, release a Version 1.3 Beta 2, this will include BBCode and smiley parsing, so you are able to use BBCode and Smilies in your announcement.

Then it will come out Beta. If you have any worries about installing the beta, and wish for me to install it for you, just send me a PM with your MSN and Ill do it for you

1st, thanks!

2nd, please make it possible to define for every style individual font colours or the complete settings.

Installed, and works, just 2 issues:

1. Fontsize should be in px or pt, so that it can match the forum fontsize.
2. Error in template:

Error Line 751 column 51: document type does not allow element "tbody" here.
<tbody id="collapseobj_forumhome_announce" style="">
