Mod Name / Version: Forum Instructions 3.5
Description: This allows you to add a bit of text (or a banner ad / HTML) to the top of the postlist page. It's forum specific, so you can have different info for each forum.
Version 2.0 Adds the ability to edit the stuff at the top of each forum via the Admin menu.
This is a PERFECT way to have banner ads for each forum without having to do a whole specific header for each forum.
Version 3.0 updates instructions for UBB.Threads version 6.4.
Version 3.5 adds instructions to extend this extra information into the showflat/showthreaded view.
