Version 1.2 is in the works
Current features I have planned for this version is;
* Guests Only - The admin controlled ability to make it so the announcement is only shown to guests only. (This could be then used as a welcome message )

No many features as you can see, so if you have any suggestions, please post them, so I can include them in my next version

Thanks,

Marky

Sorry about the wait gamebgs - I've been super busy with the menu control mod im working on, and keeping MgArcade alive and kicking - plus school - just one big juggle

I've not tested yet, but will do if you still wish me too.
You may test it yourself, it's pretty easy to uninstall. Just delete the text you added in the navbar template and choose uninstall on the product menu

Thanks,

Marky

Ok this is probably a dumb question to ask, but isn't there already a Global Announcement feature in VB (I know there is).. And does this plugin work with the orginal global announcement... Next question, well i should say suggestion to add... Can u make this plugin work with the smilies and be able to pick what smilies you would like to use during the announcement before its posted..
