I have this working on 3.6.2 perfectly and does everything I need to do, can you tell me how to add a url and a name instead of the full url showing?

I know in the old vb it used to be like this

[ url=http://www.yoursite.com/link.php]Your name[/ url]

Without the spaces above

Have you got it turned on in the options, it should work just add $globalannouncement to the bottom of navbar and your set to go, did you install the .xml file, if you get completely stuck try the Read-Me.txt file inclosed and then install it from scratch and remove all traces of the $globalannouncement.

I have installed this on 6 styles and never had a problem, What version do you have?

Thanks
