I can't open the module I downloaded?

Please advise.

Thanks.

Please excuse my ignorance. I opened it with Wordpad. But, now what do I do?

Thanks!

You need to install it. Take a look at the 3rd post on the 1st page for directions.

I've installed the module and configured it to only display Global announcements. The module shows up on the page I have it set for, but it does not display any of the announcements from my forum. I'm using vB 3.8.3 and vBa 3.2.0

Any thoughts?

The module would normally only display if there's an announcement that should be shown so that's a bit odd.

Make sure the announcement dates really cover the time that you want to see it displayed. I normally do a test announcement that is much wider than today's date to test things out.

On google chrome the announcement title and date are overlapping... screen shot attached. It looks fine in IE and Firefox.

It's really designed to be run as a center module. You can modify the template to fix the problem but I don't have any other suggestions.

ahhh thanks, sorry I must have missed this in the thread.

It's not showing up for me. Any tips? I'm on vb advanced 2.2.1 and The module isn't showing up anywhere I post it. I posted a few threads and still no avail.

Is there a corresponding module for 4.0 or some other function can be used?
