Marky,
Nice job on the update. Flawless. Works great. The color changes most definitely bring attention to it.
Just one suggestion however, for those of us who have multiple styles. Any way of having the global announcement bar call to the vb css colors (as before), via the admin cp, and not through the navbar coding? I like the idea of keeping my Global Announcements coding the same as the other parts of the vb pages.
Thanks
