Topic: Forum Announcements

Kennel and all others! smile
What do you think about a general "announcements" box, e.g. between the upper main navigation box and the messages box.
For any reason last night my SQL DB screwed up and I lost some postings. While I could/will announce it in the general forums not everybody might read that kind of announcements.
So adding an announcement to every page might be helpful here.
I would suggest a form in the Admin -> Option section which can be enabled/disabled.

Thoughts?

Cheers ~ Arne

Re: Forum Announcements

Is this a mod or an actual feature being included in a new release of PBB?
