Introduction:
I found Zero Tolerence's Welcome Panel's template dull, and it had a lot of mistakes on my computer, and it shows up on a lot of the sites I visit that have it. It annoyed me so I threw together my own Template for his hack. This is it. I've called it Welcome Panel Template Rewrite, as that's exactly what it is. It's about to go into it's next version, so be on the look out.
This hack will not work if...
You must install this hack (Zero Tolerence's Welcome Panel) before my hack will work. It requires the plugins. Just don't follow the installation instructions for the template.
Installing:
All you have to do to install this hack is upload the .xml file that's attached to your Products Manager and it'll install the template and phrases.
Note: Be sure to chose the correct .xml! It is reccomended that you chose either v1.3 (location within zip: back releases/v1.x) or v2.1.1's XML file (main folder)!

Displays New Posts

lol...no worries m8, tis a lot harder to understand feelings from text than it is to hear it
Thats the prob with forums, some peeps can read too much into what others say, ya see, many including myself type exactly how there thinking it and how they would say it, and sometimes it can look totally different to someone else reading it....

The latest announcement section seems to be pulling just a random post from the forum ID you enter. It does not pull any announcement you have made for that forum. It doesn't pull the most recent post, nor the most recent reply. Can anyone suggest if this is a bug or what in fact it is pulling? I am using 3.6.5
P.S. My font is also to large and it is not using the default for my board. Not sure why? (I am viewing in Friefox, latest version).

I don't seem to sound stupid but let me say this:
Why are you installing the 3.5 version of this mod on a 3.6.5 board? And the latest announcement for this version isn't pulled - you must set it...
