I just installed this hack and have one question. WHere it says 'enter the usergroups id' how do i know the user group id of the mods?

One more thing. I cannot seem to get the message to come out at all.

I got htis to work. I like it! One question though. It would be nice to be able to use the VB codes such as RED etc in the body of the message. I can't seem to get that to work. Also being able to show multiple messages and have this self scroll would really be nice.

INSERT INTO setting (settingid,settinggroupid,title,varname,value,description,optioncode,displayorder) VALUES (NULL,40,'Display Staff Messages','displaystaffmessages','1','Do you wish the message to be displayed to all staff to be displayed on all pages?','yesno','1');
INSERT INTO setting (settingid,settinggroupid,title,varname,value,description,optioncode,displayorder) VALUES (NULL,40,'Staff Usergroups','staffusergroups','5,6,7','Enter the usergroup id\'s of your staff in here. (Seperate with commas WITH NO SPACES!)','','2');
INSERT INTO setting (settingid,settinggroupid,title,varname,value,description,optioncode,displayorder) VALUES (NULL,40,'Message','themessage','','Here you put the message that you want to be displayed on all pages to your staff.<br>(You may use html as as &lt;br&gt tags are needed to go to a new line','textarea','3');
