The Arcive of vBulletin Modifications Site.

Each Announcement shows as an extra thread in Forumdisplay · **Released**: 07-02-2002

Ok, this Hack shows each Announcement in forumdisplay, instead of just the newest one.
Also, if you make the Template-changes, you won't see all Announcements, if you click on just one.

Requested at vbulletin-germany.com

Should work with all vb2.2.x version, tested at 226 and 225

It SHOULD be standard behaviour, which only makes your hack all the more needed Xenon.

Why there isn't at least an option to do that in vBulletin is one of the bigger design flaws the board has - but with a great board, the biggest mistakes are still small.

Xenon,

Great hack! One of the first things I noticed when I purchased vBulletin was the lack of the ability to do this. Kudos.

As far as making it the standard behavior in vBulletin, I think it should be an option. I.e. When creating a new announcement, have a checkbox to make it appear as a separate thread. That way announcements that have a higher level of importance appear as a separate thread, but others can be grouped together. This is especially important for a forum with a large number of announcements.
