<br>
Good idea. Done.<br>
<br>
The filename is set by a new preferences.php setting
'systemAnnouncementFilePath'.<br>
This is set to '' by default, so it will never display anything.<br>
If you make it point to a file that doesn't exist, or it can't read,
or is empty, it won't display anything.<br>
Otherwise the contents of that file (which may contain HTML tags)
will be shown as a "Notice" at the top of the login, logout and
main-menu pages as you suggested.<br>
<br>
It will be in the next beta.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Jules.<br>
