Sidebar Widgets

[JLS]

I can't seem to get a bunch of the sidebar widgets to display. Like popular now, announcements, etc. It states that they might need to be configured. How or where do I configure them?

Also, with widgets like "status updates" etc... there is no way to prevent non-members from seeing them other then a skin hack? Is that right? Was hoping this was a setting in 4...

Thanks!

Announcementso you need to create an announcement from the Mod CP

Yes. Figured that  ...LOL.

Problem was nothing was happening after I did that. I found that those things aren't updated instantly so I waited 5 mins or so and then it worked. 

Announcements cool. That worked and I found it's also under the "create" button.

Thanks! Oh, I assume this means the rest are a skin hack still?  Seems so weird they aren't added into the permission sets. If private forums don't want the posts etc showing then they wouldn't want the status updates showing I would imagine. At least I don't.

Anyone know the new code I could use to hide sidebar widgets by usergroup? In v3 I used:

<if test="in_array($this->memberData['member_group_id'], array(3,4,10))"></if>
