Announcement Wire
The Announcement Wire is the site's universal message-board, or bulletin board. Users can visit this wall to check for updates and obtain any general information about the site or organization. As admin, you are the only person able to post to the announcement wire. If you are logged in to the public site, you can delete any wall post by clicking the little red X on the post.
In your settings, you can decide where the announcement wire will appear- the site homepage, each member's dashboard, or both.
NOTICE: For any league partners using the integrated LeagueApps approach- the Announcement Wire will appear on your LeagueApps-hosted homepage, not your external site homepage. Therefore, it is a good idea to include the Announcement Wire on your member dashboard to make sure your members see your posts.
Post to the homepage wall by clicking the "Post an Announcement" button on the right of your site dashboard (see below). Optionally, you can click "Messaging > Make an Announcement" in your console.
Before you post to the wall, make sure your Message Wall Settings are set up correctly.

Select "Announcement" to post a general comment to the homepage. OR, post a comment specifically about program details, schedules, or game results. Indicating a 'post type' will simply place a label on the comment.

Non-admin players can delete their own posts by clicking the delete red X for those posts.
Additionally, admins can post to a program wall by indicating the "Recipients" of the message (as stated above).
