I have a question that could be shot down or may have already been discussed. When voting takes place, is there any way to put it in the banner on the website?
If this proves to be a technical problem and/or not wanted, I'm not wedded to this idea.

le nubian, voting is already going on. We always announce voting time, and link the ballot in the Press thread. The vote is here: Jon B. "Sunnydale Press" Oct 19, 2004 4:16:56 pm PDT

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
yeah, I found out about voting and I already voted, but I'm wondering if there are others like me who may not know exactly when voting takes place and would benefit from a banner notice.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think we should have a banner space for all sorts of urgent stuff so it's up in your face.
Contradicting myself, I also think that people who care should sub to/read Press, so those that don't care have a way of avoiding it entirely.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Oh, oh, I bet I know what ita's going to say.
Press exists so people, among other reasons, will know what's going on with the board, like scheduled downtimes and voting. Subscribe to Press! It's low-traffic and less filling!
Edit: stupid x-post.

I think the time stamp proves that you were indeed reading my mind I am predictable.

Press has only had 1548 posts in it, in 25 months. It averages a little over two posts a day. It's a thread you can check, without feeling married to it.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Well that's the thing. Mostpeople assume they don't care until they do, y'know?

I agree with both.
Could we switch "vote now" with the filk or link boxes on the left side of the screen? Or would that be just as much work to code as a separate banner, with no additional benefit?

Also - serialling -- do we know how many people are subscribed to press, or how many unique visits it gets per week? I'm just curious how many people there are who really don't check it.
