Peter, would it be difficult to make each message collapsible and add a title for each message?

I can see this popular plugin being used quite a lot and some admins may have a long list of messages.

If plugin had collapsible messages and a title it would make it easier for admins with long lists of messages to find and update a message, and admins wouldn't have to scroll a long list to add another message.

I like this idea/suggestion too! when as admin viewing "Messages"  
Each message could be collapsible if have a long list and could click on the message to expand it
if that's possible?

It would be good if you could change the colour of the box where the title is. I have this plugin, and say it's really important and i need it to stand out, i would want to be able to change the colour of the box so it stands out from the rest.

Once some updates are out from ProBoards regarding the user object, I will implement all what you lot have said and a few other ideas I have.

Very small bug fix to remove debug code.

So this plugin is awesome. It may well be the answer to all my worries about how to replace our current header table.

My only problem. I can get it to display on the homepage. (by not selecting any boards/categories) or to display in the boards/categories (by selecting all the boards/categories.) Is there a way to make it so that it display on the main forum page and within the boards/categories?

Thank you so much!

EDIT: Ignore me, trying to insert an old table in the nothing selected message confused things as everything was weird and stretched, selecting nothing displays everywhere. Perfect!

I support the idea of collapsable on the forums like a category.

Thanks again for this plugin!

2.2.0 is out (download from first post).

Not a massive change, though added the ability to set the colour of the title, title text, body, and body text.

[Maiden]

If you leave them blank will it continue to take the theme colours? (I love that feature)

Thanks

Yes, sure will, however I have just found a very small bug with the title text when it uses the default theme colours which I will fix in the next update I make.

Edit:  It was bugging me, so have fixed it.  2.2.1 is available, sorry.

Thanks Peter!

Great work, Peter.

[Maiden]

I love this plugin Peter. It has made some things I was dreading trying to work out possible. (slightly differently looking to as planned but they perform the function perfectly thank you so much!)

Two tiny things that would be an improvement for me.

The order they are in the plugin management being the order they appear on the board (at the moment mine seem to appear in reverse order? but I've only tried stacking up two, one global, one category specific)

Being collapsible (and remembering it for that specific user) by clicking on the title bar

But I love this plugin, thank you for making it.

Question! Is there an option to make it so that a message can display only on the main page and none of the others? I cannot seem to get it to do just that. n.n;;;

Open Global messages/messages and make sure no boards or category's are selected . Also click edit and make sure your theme is selected.

Doesn't work, its still showing in every single board instead of only the main page, even when I don't select it to show up on any other.

I am having the same issue. Don't have any boards or categories selected, but the message is still showing on all of them, even on calendar, members, etc. Only place it is not showing up is custom pages and admin.

Edit to add: Just as a test I selected one board. With this setting the message shows on one board only, nowhere else, not even the main page, which is where I wanted it.
