Tips

If the following templates have been modified from their original, either "revert" them or test this Mod carefully before use:
  • FORUMDISPLAY

NOTE : This plugin ignores the "Forum Display Options (forumdisplay)" / "Group Announcements" setting)

WishList - Other Ideas
  • Remember collapse state [eg : cookie] (high)
  • Collapse if already viewed (med)
  • Do not inherit parent forum announcements (med)
  • Hide threads until announcements have been read (med)
  • Special announcement for Forum Home-page (med)
  • Duration of announcements to display (low)
  • Change icon

Make sure you uninstall the old one after recording your settings as the 3.8 version uses a different product ID
