Austin01 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Hi, I think that the announcement system is great already, don't get me wrong, but I think that a small feature addition may make it better. The addition of an option when making it that allows people to reply to the announcement or not and count it as a post/topic. I think it would be great, other thoughts?

Rheddy Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I plan on disabling the announcements feature. I do NOT like the way it screams at you at the very top of the page. It's annoying and distracting. The "announcements" feature should work exactly like the "pinned" topics do, like how they are displayed in IPB 3.1. I don't like how they are now displayed. It's like that obnoxious kid from down the street who won't leave you alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfarber Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 If you want, effectively, a pinned topic - make a pinned topic. Announcements *should* "scream" at you in my opinion. They should be used for important information administrators want to ensure their members see. If announcements are simply duplicating the functionality of pinned topics, what is the point in having them given that we already have pinned topics?

m3rk0rd Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Is it possible to have announcements for guests and different announcements for members? That would be pretty awesome to have a permission mask for each announcement. I often wish I could give one announcement to one group and a different announcement to another group. Especially in forums where permissions vary by group (e.g. one can post, one can read only). It would be a nice way to let users know what they can do in any given forum, and why. Otherwise I get emails with "Why can't I post in this forum?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
