This will give you the oppurtinity to create a global message or announcement for your forum which will be displayed in index page, footer or both.
The add on is fully configured at Admin->Panel->Modification Settings->Global Forum Message. You can use html and smileys in your message. You can choose which groups will see the message oe announcement too.
This can be done at Permissions->Usergroup->Modify. Below General you will see a new permission, View global forum message. There you can set the permissions acccordingly for each group.

I like the look of that, cicka.  :)

Is it OK to use this as well as the News Fader?

Thank you Joker™ :)

Yes MATTEK. This can be done at Permissions->Usergroup->Modify. Below General you will see a new permission, View global forum message. There you can set the permissions acccordingly for each group.

Thank you YogiBear :) Yes, I think it should be ok to use it with the News Fader. Should not be any conflicts.

Is it OK to use BBCode for styling, cicka? I can see great possibilities here.  :)

You can use smileys and html but for the rest of BBCode I am afraid not. However if you want to use a link or an image you can do it with html too :)

Thank you for posting this. :) I did not think to test it for bbcode because I had not made the changes for it.

A problem here, cicka. I've enabled it to show in the footer so I can see it as an admin but whereas the Category bar shows up there's no text anywhere.

Same prob if I try in the header.

I'm using English with version and mods as below.

Edit : I tried it with plain text (no codes) but no luck.

Can you make different messages to show up for different membergroups or can you only have one message at a time? And will this mod conflict with your Activity Reminder Message mod?

No, this will show only one global message and you can choose which groups can view it. I do not see any reason why it should conflict with my other add on, Activity Reminder Message.

A very useful mod. Will it run harmoniously with Simple Portal?
