So maybe split the difference and just loving leave it alone.

No, we should have to complete the old SA flash game "Dance Dance Karnov" on mobile if we want to make any announcements, frogs, or future penises go away.

You can remove it yourself, by waiting 3 seconds. :science:

If you tap it and look at the announcement (or do it from the menu drawer) it won't even appear again! until the next unread one

If you don't have at least one goldmined thread under your belt, the announcement bar pops up every 30 seconds even if there are no new announcements.

It would be nice to have an option to hold down on one of the next page options to prompt a skip to a page number instead of tapping left or right over 200 times.

Assuming this isn't a joke re: repeated announcement complaints (get rid of them, down with toasts!), tap the current page number to bring up a page select.

I have no idea what that means.

Also what I'm hearing is that we should rework the announcement snackbar to use the system notifications instead. *bzzt bzzt*

Toasts aren't clickable, I think. Both popups, but different uses.

The way I understand toasts pop into frame, like... toast. Not sure if dismiss able is a requirement or not.

Snack bars are more static, not dismissable.

This is from 0 time spent reading standards btw.

You can still see the unread counts and read the announcements from the option in the side menu, in case anyone didn't know. The snackbar popup time is pretty short to avoid annoying people, but looks like that didn't work did it???

hooah posted:

Toasts just pop up for a bit in the middle of the screen and disappear, you can't do anything with them. They're meant to be a 'hey guess what!' kind of thing
Snackbars are the little rectangular blocks that pop up at the bottom, you can swipe them away and they sometimes have an action you can click on. Dunno why they're called that, toast makes sense at least

Make them persistent until the user clicks on them, with a checkbox to acknowledge reading the announcement.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to have a multiple choice question or two to be sure the user understood the announcement, too.

Also, if they dismiss it in under three minutes (careless readers) it rates the announcement [1/5] to earn a punishment.

Add announcement notifications to all PM and "forums updated" ones, just stack the pop-ups until the screen is a snack and toast buffet.

Each note stack should be independently manually dismissed, for thoroughness.

I mean, this is how it's been since I popped in to make a request. When there is a new request it won't get buried - it'll apparently just get mocked for a page or two.

Not that it's my call but I don't see what the big deal is.

For what it's worth I take all requests very seriously! But it doesn't mean they'll necessarily be added, especially when there's a reason things are the way they are

Ah, I never meant you were mocking them; my apologies for ambiguous posting.

Other posters will mock them, in a mostly good-natured way, with subjectively humorous results.
