The MyBB Community Forums has a bar at the top of the index page. This is a simple template modification as follows:

For the bar only on the index page, follow this procedure:

1. Go to Admin CP --> Templates & Style --> Templates --> *expand your template set* --> Index Page Templates --> index.
2. Find:

   {$headerinclude}

3. Add after:

   <style type="text/css">
   .newsbar {
   	background: #D6ECA6;
   	border-top: 2px solid #8DC93E;
   	border-bottom: 2px solid #8DC93E;
   	text-align: center;
   	margin: 10px auto;
   	padding: 5px 20px;
   	font-weight: bold;
   }
   </style>
   

4. Change the colors above to the colors of your choice if you wish.
5. Find:

   {$header}

6. Add after:

   <p class="newsbar">Your Important Announcement Here</p>

For multiple news bars, repeat step 6. For multiple news bars in different colours, you'll need to duplicate the CSS with a different class name (say .newsbar_red) and change the CSS colours accordingly. Then you will need to use

<p class="newsbar_red">...</p>

for example in your code.

For the bar to show up on all pages, follow this procedure:

1. Go to Admin CP --> Templates & Style --> Templates --> *expand your template set* --> Ungrouped Templates --> headerinclude.
2. At the end of the template, add:

   <style type="text/css">
   .newsbar {
   	background: #D6ECA6;
   	border-top: 2px solid #8DC93E;
   	border-bottom: 2px solid #8DC93E;
   	text-align: center;
   	margin: 10px auto;
   	padding: 5px 20px;
   	font-weight: bold;
   }
   </style>
   

3. Change the colors above to the colors of your choice if you wish.
4. Go to Admin CP --> Templates & Style --> Templates --> *expand your template set* --> Header Templates --> header.
5. At the end of the template, add:

   <p class="newsbar">Your Important Announcement Here</p>

For multiple news bars, repeat step 6. For multiple news bars in different colours, you'll need to duplicate the CSS with a different class name (say .newsbar_red) and change the CSS colours accordingly. Then you will need to use

<p class="newsbar_red">...</p>
