Announcements lack "Board Index" value in "Where to Show" option. Currently it is not possible to display one announcement on index only and another on on particular forum.

For example, I need a global "About Us" announcement to be displayed only on index and "How to Ask for Support" in Support Forum. Can't do.

I briefly looked in the code and it seems strange, that announce_location is field can have * for unlimited locations, but announce_ids has 0 for unlimited forum ids. Guess you can change it to * as unlimited and 0 as board index.

Anyway, this option is necessary, because having certain announcement on board index only is a pretty common setup.

Under the forum config in the admin area - under display settings use the Rules box - thats what I do for the support forum. I believe thats what invison does also.

It looks like a good extension, but I don't want another global messages widget. Default announcement one is quite enough, just needs a little tweaking.
