Marky,

Thanks for wonderful plugin, works great for me, I needed this and you made it

But one tiny bug, even when I select the option of putting it offline, the annoucement displays, why is that ?

Do you want your Announcement online?

Yes = Online
No = Offline < I did choose No there and it still displays, but only way to stop this from appearing is to remove any text inside the box, can you update me where I might have gone wrong, I followed exactly as you said though.

Thanks,
DC

not sure if this is a bug or not, maybe a microbe of some sort... anyways, i set a link for the Title Link, fine - it works. then i go and remove the link, and then the Title Link remains but to my forum index... normal? if so, i would prefer a way to completely remove the option of a Title Link.

wouldn't the announcements section of the admin menu be a better place to put this rather than in vbulletin options?

Not neccessarily...
It's not too much of a problem though
