You have to use the <a hef= command, I figured it out after I posted.

I have a question, I have vbshout installed and I am wanting to put the global announcement below the navbar which is above the forums, now is there a way I can change the code in order to have it sitting above the forums and not below the navbar?

Greetings all!

I'm back!

Anyways, vBDiscussion was pretty much a bum deal seeing as I hardly ever updated it due to school etc. But im finding that Im getting quite a bit of free time to work on it. So temporarly vBDiscussion.com has been closed until the 1st December where it will reopen.

Im writing loads of tutorials, and writing many new modifications / updates to previous modifications and they will all be released on here and at vBDiscussion.com. They will also be all released ON 1st December

So for now, all support for all of my modifications will have to be dealt through vBulletin.org.

I will be updating all of my current vBulletin modifications for 3.6 to the latest vBulletin version to avoid any bugs etc.

For now any bugs you come across, I would recommend you PM me and I will deal with any problems you have.

Since I'll be updating things, be sure to PM me with any requested features or modifications! I will be very happy

Cheers,

Marky

Great mod!

Shazz · #50 11-28-2006, 06:11 PM

Still working well on all 3.6 Thanx

I must say that I like very much

Here are some suggestions for future versions that you may consider implimenting.

1) Adding multiple announcements instead of just one.
2) The text box can be small when there is a rather large announcement. What about a popup window for a larger box? For example, the same technique that VB uses for editing templates.
3) This one is a bit of a stretch, but what about a WYSIWYG editor?

Just some thoughts. Please feel free to use any of the suggestions or none of them as you see fit.
