This already exists – enter a global banner in site settings, this is for mission critical alerts only, they are not dismissible.

Otherwise for a dismissible banner visit any topic, admin wrench, feature topic, then banner.

Go to admin, users, export and plug those email addresses into the mailer system of your choice.

Is there a standard way to do this, though? Or just altering the theme templates?

For our purpose, we need to have a disclaimer on every page for legal purposes (we are gearing up to do public solicitation under 506c exemption and will need every single page in [forum.intercoin.org](http://forum.intercoin.org) to have a disclaimer on top, linking to our Private Placement Memorandum)

Add it to the site footer in admin, customize is what most sites do with legal stuff.

I might be a little dense in this case, but I can’t seem to find how to alter HTML of header and footer in the admin. Googled it, too. Do I need to alter the theme?

Is there any way – preferably without using Javascript – to update the top row (inside \<header class="d-header clearfix"\> after the title class) on desktop? The Envato solution is unacceptable because they’re wasting a substantial amount of vertical space. We have this huge bar here that’s completely empty on Desktop browsers! That’d be a great place to put some key links.

Ah I found [this](https://meta.discourse.org/t/best-way-to-customize-the-header/13368/5)

A new theme, and then editing the header. Let’s see if that works.

I was PM’d asking how I do mine as seen here

 ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/4/0/40cbb4a962bb02b7232d1196a0f234f05aaf8859.png)

and I do it using a small post from a non public area and then pin it

The link then goes to a new page.

Hope this helps

이 방법을 설명해 주실 수 있나요? 어디에도 그런 설정을 찾을 수 없어요.
