Hmm, I don't see any Advantage over putting the HTML directly into Templates FORUMHOME/FORUMDISPLAY?

Anyway, I'd suggest to make it at least hassle-free by using a Product (see attached File).

This would cut down the Instructions to

- Import Product XML
- Make the 2 Template Edits

WOW - thanks.... waited for that one

[Snake]

I just don't get it. The annoucement feature is already available in vB so why make thsi hack again?

[Sovereign]

To allow for more precise control of announcements, maybe?

Ok, I'm lost here. What will this do that isn't already done with the Announcements in RC 3?

[Gio~Logist]

It displays somewhat like this

And boofo, take a look at my threads in the php/html/etc FORUM!

no one has been able to help me and i have a huge headache!

This is probably me being a little teeny bit moronic but... where do you write the message to display in the announcement?

I've tried the built in announcement tool but that just posts a standard issue announcement.

I'm not installing till there's a screen shot or a demo please.
