FAQ:

it tells me I'm not authorised to administrate the forum and I have to log in again, which I do, and then it tells me again I'm not authorised

How can we show polls on index as announcement when showing a topic/post?

You can't, sorry. it can only show the post.

How can i post an annoucement in a specific section only?

it is only possible to either show everywhere or on index only. To show it only in a specific section, you would need to take the code from index.php and move it to the section you would want it displayed instead. that should work but i have not tested it.

Has anyone got this to work with the prosilver_se template?
Thanks in advance.

yes, that should be fairly straight forward, first install this mod on prosilver, then make the prosilver edit in the overall_header.html file of prosilver SE. afterwards, upload the prosilver announcement_centre.html to the prosilver SE folder. again, not really tested but i think thats what i did at the time.

I loved this mod in v.2, will love it in v.3 too! Thanks for the great mod!

Ran into a few minor issues on the install, but nothing that I could not work through. I added it to six other styles including the default Prosilver and Subsilver. All of them were based off either of the defaults so it was easy enough to make work.

The additional features of this over v.2 are great!
