Go to your Moderator CP, and click Announcements Edited April 19, 20213 yr by Nathan Explosion

April 19, 20213 yr Author I had removed the cache pages+from the SQL it had deleted the announcement, but the cached pages kept it visable for others.

April 19, 20213 yr Announcements are stored in the datastore! This means even if you delete it from the database, the'll still be shown until the datastore is rebuilt. To fix this, run the support tools in your ACP! BTW, please NEVER, NEVER NEVER delete anything direct from the dababase, there are often related data stored in other tables which would literally break your site:)
