Announcements useless?!?!?

[edczxcvbnm]

I think there needs to be a better way to get announcements noticed by people, which is evident with the new sticky message in this forum. There needs to be something to make people notice it. Seeing as how the annoucement is always static and on top is it feasible to make the background an animated gif that changes colors...kind of like a siren. But only for the first few days it is new. I think it would grab attention a lot better.

One thing is clear. Something should probably be done when you have to make a thread to tell people to read the annoucement.

What about a sortve feautre that can send a message to all members but cant be responded too. It would be way more noticeable.

Easy: anyone who makes a post/thread which goes directly and obviously against something a recent announcement covered is banned immediately.

Quiet, this way we could trick him into getting himself banned. =D

Er, I mean.

Hi, Raisin.

It probably wouldn't be hard to instate a code that would cause a popup show up on screen notifying people of new announcements, in the style of the PM notifier.

In the same vein of ease, you could just pay attention to the annoucement bar every now and then.

How about we come to your door and tell you when there's a new announcement?

I don't think I like this idea much because I'd end up making all of your house calls.

buuuurn

Perhaps like in a width of a week, at the top of the forums page (but below the Eyes on Final Fantasy banner) there should be a box telling the new announcement(s). Everytime somebody logs into EoFF would immediatly see that, and if they dont, they are dumb.

Did I make any sense?

[Yamaneko]

But it's the dumb people that really need to see the announcements.

Hi, Raisin.

I always read announcements.

Remind me to make an announcement with the text of "If Raistlin reads this announcement, then he gets banned"

Sound good?

Yes.
