I have sent a message to all users. This shows up as an orange box in the sidebar. How do I remove/clear this now the update has become old news?

Thanks,
Mark

Go back to your account and have a careful study of the site wide notifications screen.

Go to “My Account” > “Messages” > “Notices” and click “Deactivate” next to the message you want to deactivate.

thanks pcwriter that was a lot clearer than my explanation however I thought, regardless, it was something that perhaps was apparent from detailed study of all links/screens, can’t give too many clues

You’re absolutely right! I do tend to give answers rather than what I myself ask for: help to learn how to do it… preferably with a working example
Still working on the admin panel for my plugin, and I’m starting to get the hang of things (I think…).

Thanks for the answers which answered the same question for me. However I don’t get the message in an orange box – cut and pasted the code into widget in my theme but had to take a couple of bits out – do I need to put anything back in?

<a href="”>

<a class="button" href="”>

<?php printf( __( ' You can also create an account.’, ‘buddypress’ ), site_url( BP_REGISTER_SLUG . ‘/’ ) ) ?>

<form name="login-form" id="sidebar-login-form" class="standard-form" action="” method=”post”>

<input type="text" name="log" id="sidebar-user-login" class="input" value="” />

<input type="submit" name="wp-submit" id="sidebar-wp-submit" value="” tabindex=”100″ />

<?php /* Show forum tags on the forums directory */
if ( BP_FORUMS_SLUG == bp_current_component() && bp_is_directory() ) : ?>

Also when I click on the “close” message nothing happens because the link is just “/#”. Any ideas why?
