Amendments to Forum Announcements?

Red Sleeping Beauty

Just a quick yes/no suggestion I think.
Is it possible to remove the original poster's name from a Forum Announcement ?
See Adverts Support here

The announcement has "Sparky" underneath it - looks a bit crap/silly I think. People probably think "why have this crowd got announcemnets fro/for Sparky ? - sparky who? who's sparky? what's a sparky?" - There's lots of Adverts users who don't use boards. Also , could you maybe have the Announcement stand out a bit ? Highlight it somehow ? Nothing obstrusive or disgusting or too distracting but something that makes it stand out.

I think that page looks a bit confusing, especially if someone's just using Asverts and then goes there for some reason.


Also, as a side suggestion to that that's just popped in to my head (probably a nonstarter) but , any chance you could get an Adverts logo of some sort on that page ? I have just about zero understanding of forum software and websites but I assume that this would be way too hard ?
How about only having the Prefix Search Filter only visible to mods ? Can't see why other people posting there would need it - it also I think makes things more complicated for people who just use adverts.

What about using a generic account with the username "boards.ie" for Announcements ?
