([url*]|[*/url]) is a BBCode Tag - and Global Announcements does not - yet - have BBCode support.

If you wanted a link that was bold it must be written like this:

HTML Code:

<b><a href="http://www.testlink.com">Test link</a></b>

My new site will contain a lot of new html tutorials - so hopefully this will be helpful for this modification

Hope this helps,

Marky

Yes I believe it does - but I have not tested it. I think I remember someone saying it works with 3.5.4. But it should do - nothing has been changed in 3.5.4 that should affect the modification

ForeverForums · #**116** 03-10-2006, 04:51 PM

great thanks for the help, i will try that out

Alien · #**117** 03-13-2006, 01:49 AM

Yeah, it works fine on 3.5.4. All I need is support for multiple styles instead of setting one color display in Global Announcements admincp for each of the skins because I have light and dark styles.

Then it'd be a perfect addition for me. I hope to see this ability in the future.

Yup don't worry - Im working on a vB Support forum quite like vBulletin.org. Once the site is up, I will be updating practically all my modifications and start making more

is it possible to have a vertical marquee for the announcement? something like a news ticker?

This is possible. All you must do is enter the correct marquee code into the message box.

Code:

<marquee direction="up" scrolldelay="100" scrollamount="2" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10px">Test Marquee Text</marquee>

If you put that into the message box - it should work, although I've not tested it. You could edit the points to modify it further, for example puting scrolldelay to 10 would speed the marquee up

Hope this helps
