Welcome Message on Index

[MoMan2]

Hi,

Is it possible to add a welcome message to reviewposts's index? Does it have to be added through a php file or through the template system?

Thanks!

you can post an announcement under admin index options

Thanks- I hadn't noticed that feature before! Because of the 200 character limit, though, I had to edit the announce.tmpl template directly, though

I also move the welcome message up to the top of the page through index.php.

yeah the limit is actually 255 characters and it is because the field is a varchar field. Since the announcement is stored in the settings table getting rid of the limit is not forseeable since setting that field to text for all the settings for the program would no doubt have some sort of speed impact since text fields which have no limit are slower to access.
