Topic: Second Announcement for group

before we start I just want to say that I have minimal knowlage with php but I learn.

I have been trying to get a second Announcement to show on my website.
So far I have manage to get 2 announcements there. But if I disabled one, the other one gets removed too

An image just to show:
http://forums.saf-squad.co.uk/announcement.jpg

I started by inserting 2 new values to the punbb_config database.

INSERT INTO `punbb_config` ( `conf_name` , `conf_value` ) 
VALUES (
'o_announcement_saf', '0'
);
INSERT INTO `punbb_config` ( `conf_name` , `conf_value` ) 
VALUES (
'o_announcement_message_saf', '0'
);

then I went to the admin_options.php file.
and made a new line after this:

    if ($form['announcement_message'] != '')
        $form['announcement_message'] = pun_linebreaks($form['announcement_message']);
    else
    {
        $form['announcement_message'] = 'Enter your announcement here.';

        if ($form['announcement'] == '1')
            $form['announcement'] = '0';
    }

were I added this:

    if ($form['announcement_message_saf'] != '')
        $form['announcement_message_saf'] = pun_linebreaks($form['announcement_message_saf']);
    else
    {
        $form['announcement_message_saf'] = 'Enter your announcement here.';

        if ($form['announcement_saf'] == '1')
            $form['announcement_saf'] = '0';
    }

The admin Fieldset for the option

                    <fieldset>
                        <legend>SAF Announcement</legend>
                        <div class="infldset">
                            <table class="aligntop" cellspacing="0">
                                <tr>
                                    <th scope="row">Display announcement</th>
                                    <td>
                                        <input type="radio" name="form[announcement_saf]" value="1"<?php if ($pun_config['o_announcement_saf'] == '1') echo ' checked="checked"' ?> /> <strong>Yes</strong>   <input type="radio" name="form[announcement_saf]" value="0"<?php if ($pun_config['o_announcement_saf'] == '0') echo ' checked="checked"' ?> /> <strong>No</strong>
                                        <span>Enable this to display the below message in the forums.</span>
                                    </td>
                                </tr>
                                <tr>
                                    <th scope="row">Announcement message</th>
                                    <td>
                                        <textarea name="form[announcement_message_saf]" rows="5" cols="55"><?php echo pun_htmlspecialchars($pun_config['o_announcement_message_saf']) ?></textarea>
                                        <span>This text will not be parsed like regular posts and thus may contain HTML.</span>
                                    </td>
                                </tr>
                            </table>
                        </div>
                    </fieldset>

And then in the header.php I added this to tell the header to show message if 1

 if ($pun_config['o_announcement_saf'] == '1')

and the block to show the message

<div id="announce" class="block">
    <h2><span>SAF Member Announcement</span></h2>
    <div class="box">
        <div class="inbox">
            <div><?php echo $pun_config['o_announcement_message_saf'] ?></div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

I'm not sure what to do really.
Any help or links to mods that gets me a step closer helps me alot

Thanks,
