Has this mod been updated yet? I would like to know if it has the BBcode features and smilie features you had planned to include.

Why don't have version full

[Marky]

I appologise guys, my vBulletin licence has run out (Leased) and I don't have enough money to buy a new one right now. So since I no longer have a licence, I am unable to continue production on this modification. I will post once I have a licence but that might not be for some time.

Thanks,

Marky

hi, i hope you you can get your license back sometime soon, this was the very first thing i needed to add to my board.

i know you might not answer soon, but i'm gonna put this

i'm having a weird error only in Firefox, every morning all the dates of the posts show as %11-%b-%2007 %0:%Feb %p.. but if i go to the global announcements and save again, it fixes and shows like 02-12-2007 08:16 AM, do you know what could correct that?

thank you

Question...

Great installation, by the way. But is there any way to make the font in the actual announcement scroll?

I would love to use this feature and add in updates / reminders into the announcements area. Where it will scroll across the top of my forums.

I imported the XML, set the user groups to 1,2,6 and 7. Then turned the announcement online and it still does not show up. What am I doing wrong?
