I have installed it but it is not working. I have check stylesheet as well. it is there but it is not showing in configuration or any place.
what to do?

^ check the plugin's reviews page - it has required fix posted by Yaldaram & few others

Why a plugin is required when it can be done by simple header edits?

If you go to MyBB's forum, you will notice the bright colorful newsbar. Well, you can easily make these as well. This tutorial will add these newsbars to every forum page, not just the index so please see the demo below.

First, Go to
ACP>>Templates>>**Your Theme**>>Head Templates>>Header

and add

<p class="newsbar">Your Important Announcement Here</p>

somewhere in the header (I recommend the bottom )
Notice the <p class="newsbar"> This is the name of this newsbar. If you have more than one, you can name this to something like "Charlie" and then you can have more than 1 newsbar on your forum. Now save that template.

Second, go to:

ACP>>Templates>>**Your Theme**>>Ungrouped Templates>>HeaderInclude
or
ACP>>Themes>>**Your Theme**>>global.css (without <style> tag lines)

At the bottom, add

<style type="text/css">
.newsbar {
    background: #00BFFF;
    border-top: 2px solid #1E90FF;
    border-bottom: 2px solid #1E90FF;
    text-align: center;
    margin: 10px auto;
    padding: 5px 20px;
    font-weight: bold;
}
</style>

Again, notice the .newsbar { , if you are going to have another newsbar and use the name above for it (Charlie) you would replace newsbar with Charlie.
Save this template then check out your forum

Thanks, It worked. coding from Yaldaram + dbgarza one works correctly.

how to add links to it. they appear as text only. Plus how i can make it with differently colored?

Effone, i will try yours as well. But will it be colored?
At least i will be able to save database for this.

^ if you do not want to use the plugin then here are more details of the method suggested by effone

... But will it be colored? ...

The CSS declaration is for coloring the newsbar which is customizable as per your choice

[new1]

Effone, ACP>>Themes>>**Your Theme**>>global.css (without <style> tag lines)
Could you be more specific on this?

Plus if in headerinclude, then at what place i should place this code?

[effone]

If you put it in global.css no <style> tag is needed.
If you place the CSS declarations in header template, place it inside <style> ... </style>

Its better you place the news in 'header' template instead of 'headerinclude' so that you can decide where you wanna show it up.
