Ok, well for now I think I'll go back to the standard announcements box. Please do let us know when you have found what you are looking for.
Also, can you clue me in on how you got that sort of 3D effect on the table headings on your forums? Yours are blue and look awesome, I think the maroon/red that Im using would look cool too!

I am just using a .gif file as the background in the table header.
here is an example:
<td align=center bgcolor="<% =strHeadCellColor %>" nowrap valign="top" background="colorstripe.gif">
here is the colorstripe.gif I am using:

Excellent. I made a red one similar and so far have it for the main forum heading table, but I'm a little lost as to where to paste the background="colorstripe.gif" for the poll, announcments box and categories.
Haven't looked at the menu bar mod to see how it would look on there.

For the poll, Announcements & Private messages, you would need to look in the INCLUDE files that are called from within inc_top.asp
for example the announcement INCLUDE file is inc_announce.asp |

Richard... Here is a thought...
Your Announcement Fader is Awesome! but it's a little hard to click on to bring up the Announcements plus
I think most people like a new window to open.
And I like your Other Announcement Mod that opens the announcements in a new window.
Here is my Question. Can you put that Announcement Mod into the Fader? Maybe in the title bar of
the Fader. Where the Fader say's "Announcements" right after that maybe put the Announcements that
you can click on and it will bring up another window.
This would combine both Mods and the fader really makes a Forum look Great. Right now I have
2 Announcement Mods running.
If you don't think this is worth while or could turn into a mess then just delete this Reply.
Thanks,
Rick

Works GREAT! Easy to install. Only thing is you need to put all the stuff together (one post) to be downloaded...
GREAT JOB!

Just a comment :
The forum_announcements.dbs file provided in the zip looked initially like this :
Forum Announcements Mod
[CREATE]
ANNOUNCE
A_ID
A_AUTHOR;varchar (50);NULL;
A_SUBJECT;varchar (50);NULL;
A_MESSAGE;text;NULL;
A_START_DATE;varchar (50);NULL;
A_END_DATE;varchar (50);NULL;
[END]
which made mod_dbsetup.asp to fail with the database upgrade: syntax error???
I changed the file to this one:
Forum Announcements Mod
[CREATE]
ANNOUNCE
A_ID
A_AUTHOR#varchar (50)#NULL#
A_SUBJECT#varchar (50)#NULL#
A_MESSAGE#text#NULL#
A_START_DATE#varchar (50)#NULL#
A_END_DATE#varchar (50)#NULL#
[END]
which fixed the prob.
Don't know why I was the only one with that prob...
Anyway, it might help.

| the mod_dbsetup.asp file initially used ; as separators but has since been changed to use # as separators. |

I think the ; was causing some problems so HuwR switched to using # instead.
you're welcome |

Hi Richard,
Whilst I like the fader being used for my Forum's Announcements, I do feel that it tends to slow the loading of the page a little, as well as not making it clear that the announcement's subject needs to be clicked on to read, so was wanting to find out if it is possible to have the Subjects of the Announcements displayed in the same place as the Fader (part of the Forums tables - i.e. code included in default.asp rather than inc_top.asp), but displayed in the same way that they would be when not using the fader? (clickable links)
I also would like to have it so that when someone clicks on the Announcement a popoup window opens with only that particular announcement displayed on it, rather than the link taking you to another page with all current Announcements displayed.
The layout would be kinda like this:
Header Cells for Forums (Forums, Topics, Posts etc)
Category Cell - Announcements
Forum Cell - Announce No 1 Announce No 2
Category Cell - Forum Category
Forum Cell - List of Forums within category
I hope that I am getting across to you what I mean here - I'm probably using 'M2M' terminology that no one but me actually understands 
TIA!
