Modify: Forum Display Templates -> forumdisplay_announcement  and remove those two highlighted brackets. It'll fix the multi-line thingy that occurs when admins with DX-Filters or table tags in their titles post announcements. Should do anyway.

Hmm... good point - glad you brought it up. Why in the world do we need to post announcements as some impersonal "Announcements" persona? It's not like we should be embarassed to be known as "The Admin Who Posted That Announcement", right? Or am I missing something entirely? :confused:

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

I did it a couple of times by accident, and Shrike growled at me. ;) I think because the avatar used to appear on the thread index.

Yes. It's supposed to be announumous (sp?) so that they won't know which one of you to knock off.

No, the entire reason is because the guys were lazy and stuck their avatars in their titles - I have it set under the proper avatar field, so mine doesn't show up if I post announcements.

you know, I just glanced at the announcment title and thought it said "multifactorial" instead of "multifolder," then looked at it again more carefully and still thought it said multifactorial (which is what I have been obsessed with for the last week; maybe this stuff is getting to me :nervous: ), and finally saw the word right on a third, even more careful examination.

You know very well that you can only have more than one avatar by making use of the title field. Of course, most of us admins don't have more than one avatar, but personally, I have mine all image-mapped, which needs to be HTML, too. :D
