It wouldn't be so annoying if the notice went up the day before the update.
Nah it's k let's up it up a full 6 days beforehand.

The fact that a huge annoying notice is needed to notify people of just 2 hours downtime that isn't for another 6 days is beyond me o_o

Yes, a lot of people often don't read this if I actually put it in a thread, this way I know everyone knows about it, and there are no surprises when I actually do it.
I'll see if I can't consolidate that a bit though, that does seem a bit large now that I look at it again.

The main thing is since this is going to be during the day, when there are more people online, this does warrant a notice.

I wasn't saying that everyone ignores them, I know some people read them. But in cases like this I need *everyone* to know about this.

You could make it collapsable, like the forums on the main page.
I dunno how much effort that takes though. Presumably there'd be some sort of template.

I see, well you could always just link everyone to the thread with a really short notice. I mean, it's on every single page, I doubt people are going to miss it. On Friday, you can make it big again to make sure no one has missed the message.

I'd probably have to toy around with the template a bit, yes.

A button for future stuff like that saying "OK, I now know this, there's no need for this to still show up" would be perfect.

Actually I had a better idea. There is an option I just toggled for that notice that'll make it non-persistent - that is, it'll show up once when you initially visit the forum then it'll disappear until you visit again, it shows up once per browser session.

'Course, I'd have to clear my browser to view it again.
May you post it into the Site Announcements, or something? I already forgot the times.

You're over-exaggerating the importance of a relatively minor notice...
