Is there a way I can ensure only certain usergroups see certain announcements? In particular I want to stop guests from seeing them.

In addition is it possible to make some text in a template appear if a user is in a specific group, and different text if they are in another?

Not (without a modification) with default vBulletin. You could post the announcement in a forum that is not open to guests.

Starting with vB 3.7 this will also be possible using the new "Notices".

I want to post the announcement in all the forums but only want it to appear if they are logged in. I have tried looking for a modification on here to do the job but cannot find one so I was wondering if anyone had an idea on what kind of code I would need.

A temporary solution is if you wrap the whole contents of announcement template with conditional for guests.

Quote:

<if condition="!is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 1)">
announcement template contents
</if>

If hope this helps you.

Val.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
