Can you specify where you place the announcement?
Nice idea

[Marky]

Sorry the announcement is placed Below the navbar and vB welcome section.
I have added an extra attachment so it is easier to see what this modification does

I also forgot to mention, the Global Announcement (Title and Text) Can both use html

The announcement text doesn't display for me Only the title, and a small box below.

Make sure you place the navbar edit right at the bottom. I.e. make sure there isn't anything underneath the global announcement code.

EDIT: Also make sure you actually have something in the announcements text box

I've done the following, doesn't work. Anyway, can someone confirm that it works for them?

[Marky]

Just installed it myself again, and it works fine.

I'll leave the announcement up there for a while so people can check it out

It seems your 'Latest News' mod you have installed is trying to share a table with the Global Announcement mod =\
If you'd like I could take a look at your template via your AdminCP. I've PM'd you my msn, if your interested in me taking a look

Installed. I use this to make mention of what's going on in my vbDrupal hack. Thanks!
