I made the following changes to the code so the Announcements table would not show up if there were no announcements. Also fixed up some missing table data and row end tags.

<!-- Announcements -->
<if condition="$announcebits">
	<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="50%"> 
	<tr> 
		<td class="tcat"><a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('icons_panel')">
		<img id="collapseimg_icons_panel" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat$vbcollapse[collapseimg_icons_panel].gif" alt="" border="0" />
		</a><b><center>Announcements</center></b></td> 
		<tbody id="collapseobj_icons_panel" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_icons_panel]">
		<tr>
			<td bgcolor="#F5F5FF"><div><span style="color: black;">
			<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center" id="threadslist">
				$announcebits
			</table>
			</a></span></div>
			</a></span></div> 
			</td> 
		</tr>
		</td>
	</tr> 
	</table>
<br />
</if>
<!-- /Announcements -->

Thanks, Sidewindr.
Code updated, but still not complete.

[Mr Pink]

Code optimized.

do you know of a way to show more than 1 announcement in the box?
Also is there a way to have the announcements to show in the forumhome?

What you mean exactly with this? Here, https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...7&d=1173895817, for example, it show two announcements.
Maybe you mean that you have this: AdminCp -> vBOptions -> Forum Display Options (forumdisplay) -> Group Announcements.. set to 'Yes'. If so, set it to 'No'.

Also is there a way to have the announcements to show in the forumhome?

For now I'm not able to do that, sorry.
