## Step-by-Step: Creating a Notice
1. Navigate to **Administration**.
2. Select **Notices**.
3. Click the option to add or create a new Notice.
4. Enter the **Message Body** — this is the text that will be displayed at the top of the chosen page.
5. Select the **Location** where the Notice should appear:
- **Forum**
- **Request**
- **Classifieds**
- **Sidebar**
6. Click **Save**.
Once saved, the Notice will immediately appear at the top of the assigned page for all users who visit it.

## Example: Forum Notice
A Notice assigned to the **Forum** location might read:
> *Please respect your community. Abusive content will be removed immediately and your access to post on the forum message will be removed.*
After saving, this message appears at the top of the page whenever a user goes to post a new Forum message.

## Example: Request Notice
A Notice assigned to the **Request** location might read:
> *If your request is an emergency, please call 911.*
After saving, this message appears at the top of the page whenever a user adds a new Request.

## Important Rules
- Only **one Notice per location** is allowed. If a Notice already exists for the chosen location, you must edit or delete the existing one before creating a new one for that same location. See [Edit or Update a Notices](Edit%20or%20Update%20a%20Notices.md) or [Delete a Notices](Delete%20a%20Notices.md).
- The only content field is the **message body**. There are no titles, formatting controls, scheduling options, or audience filters.
