Where can i get the newsbar up above with the green and blue boxes? Is it compatible with myBB 1.4?

Somewhere on the MyBB site...
Search for NewsBar
The green one is a marquee news bar. Search that too.

Well this is a pretty simple code. First of all, part of the code is the newsbar plugin, which is listed below:

1. In MyBB 1.4.x, go to Admin CP --> Templates & Style --> Templates --> *expand your template set* --> Index Page Templates --> index. If you are using MyBB 1.2.x, go to Admin CP --> Templates --> Modify / Delete --> Expand your template set --> Index Page Templates --> index
2. Find:

Code:

{$headerinclude}

3. Add after:

Code:

<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:

Code:

{$header}

6. Add after:

Code:

<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

Code:

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

for example in your code.

Global

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

1. In MyBB 1.4.x, go to Admin CP --> Templates & Style --> Templates --> *expand your template set* --> Ungrouped Templates --> headerinclude. If you are using MyBB 1.2.x, go to Admin CP --> Templates --> Modify / Delete --> Expand your template set --> headerinclude
2. At the end of the template, add:

Code:

<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. In MyBB 1.4.x, go to Admin CP --> Templates & Style --> Templates --> *expand your template set* --> Header Templates --> header. If you are using MyBB 1.2.x, go to Admin CP --> Templates --> Modify / Delete --> Expand your template set --> header
5. At the end of the template, add:

Code:

<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

Code:

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

for example in your code.

The Second part of it is a scrolling marquee code

Code:

<MARQUEE>

Hi There! <IMG SRC="graphics/idocs.gif" HEIGHT=33 WIDTH=82 ALT="Idocs Guide to HTML">

</MARQUEE>

So basically put your news item in that, and then paste it in the above code for it to be just like what we have at mybbsource.

Although killswitch is right I prefer EMS.

It's just easy to manage over all.
