There's an option request to show the board announcement on index page only.

I'm not sold on the idea of that. The forum index is not always the main landing page/entry point to a site, especially for new visitors. There's a greater chance an announcement will get missed if it's only on the index page, and I think index-only messages have been used more for stuff like a welcome message. And obviously we made it dismissiable so once seen, it wouldn't have to follow the user around from page to page and be annoying. 😱

Users should provide compelling reasons for why we should add another option, I think. I'd hate to see ACP option creep without good reason 😯

Agree with @VSEphpbb
