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

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

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 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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Mostpeople assume they don't care until they do, y'know?
This is when most people don't fill me with sympathy, it seems.
The info lives there. Has always lived there.
As much as I like the banner idea, I think of it for messages that need to be persistent, like "site going down on Friday" or ad hoccery like Tim's Wonderfalls letter. Small stuff, really rarely used, because it can get annoying real quick.
A lot of the stuff in Press has no bearing on my life, but I'm ignoring it with aplomb.
Hopefully once people realise they do care, they remember how to keep facilitating said care.

Okay, I didn't know about Press or said function of it. Or if I knew, I forgot. If I'm the only person who didn't know about this stuff then I could be unique.

Sunnydale Press does not show up in my Message Center. Is that by design?

You're probably not subscribed to it, le nubian. Go to "Set profile" and check the box next to Press on the list of threads.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I did that first. It still isn't showing up.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Are you looking in the yellow box to the right of the screen?
