This is a rather simple fix. It's a matter of going to your CONTROL PANEL > ANNOUNCEMENTS and checking 2 things:
1) Making sure that none of your announcements are set as "Permanent"
Look to see if your see "permanent" listed next to the title of any of your announcements in your list. A permanent announcement is one that will always force itself to the top of your list of announcements. Click MODIFY next to any announcement that is showing as permanent and make sure that under #2 Options that "NO" is selected next to "Permanent announcement?"
This will likely fix the issue you are having. Otherwise, here's one other thing to check.
2) Check announcement display dates
Make sure that your announcement display dates include the current day. When you click MODIFY next to each of your annoucements, you'll see options to select a date range. It's best to leave this the default settings and not to check any of the boxes or select any dates. In doing so, Blackboard will always add your most current announcement at the top of your list.
