that code would not being cause it this show up on the forums home page cuase of the $spacer_open in the header temp. maybe you can remove this and add it somewhere else on your forumshome temp but im not sure test it and see backup temps befor doing so..

[ZombieAndy]

fixed it! i had it on the wrong side of the main tag lol

if you wanna add this underneath your navbar but above your forums, find in 'FORUMHOME'

<!-- main -->

and above it, add

<if condition="$vboptions[news_text]">
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="{$vboptions['global_border']}" width="100%" align="center">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="tcat" colspan="2">
<div align="center">Current Announcement</div>
</td>
</tr>
</thead>
<tr>
<td class="alt1" colspan="2">
<if condition="$vboptions[news_italic]"><i></if>
<if condition="$vboptions[news_underline]"><u></if>
<if condition="$vboptions[news_bold]"><b></if>
$vboptions[news_code]
<if condition="$vboptions[news_bold]"></b></if>
<if condition="$vboptions[news_underline]"></u></if>
<if condition="$vboptions[news_italic]"></i></if>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</if>
<br>

you can then delete the newstext template.

_As the description, I can use html code on it right ???
_ Other question is, my forum using multi-language. Is there anyway to change Header to vb phrase , so I can use many languages on it(News and Announcement)
