Hey all,

Just got myself a brand SPANKING new vBulletin licence, that I intend to use at:
http://www.mgarcade.com

Nevertheless, I also intend to start supporting my previous mods, as well as starting new ones!

To that extent... if you feel that a feature that you wish for hasn't been included in Global Announcements, say it loud and proud NOW! And I will work on 'Global Announcements Version 1.4' which will be available for the latest vBulletin versions and will be completly supported!

Thanks,
Marky

ill mark it and come back when its 1.4 nice thou

Marky great to see you back.
I would like
- Multiple announcements
- Set colour of the box background for each.
- Did you ever get the positioning sorted below the navbar? I guess you add it to the page template.
- Wonder if it would be possible to have 2 columns so they'd be more boxes than strips?
- Or just be able to use an html table in it. That would cover doing colours as well. If inserting a table would be workable could supply a brief code guide for those who don't do html like a table with 1 td (column) note on where to put colour codes, some sample colour codes; table with 2 cols, tables one col or 2 cols with borders. (I can do that for you)

does this work in vB 3.6.8?

[Prince]

it does work on 3.6.8, but after upgrading I had to add the $globalannounce back to the navbar template manually even after re-importing this mod.

[Kadi]

Since upgrading to 3.6.10 the announcements are on every page and on every thread.

I need it on forumhome only.

What happened to updating this mod?
