Irony is misspelling the title of your post. Or perhaps proving that he's not a spelling/grammar nazi... s/coherant/coherent/i; Proper capitalization is optional too...

Thanks for the feedback. I don't know enough about the SE codebase to comment on the ease, but I assume that such an effort would be significant...

@John Gardeniers I'd also read the last sentence to imply that despite people not reading our carefully worded missives and warnings, we still catch flack when they break things that we'd warned about. Thus, we have to cater to the lowest-common-denominator... Thanks for clarifying; I think we're on the same page! DOWN WITH NOTIFICATION BAR!!!

@John Gardeniers I am in favor of a dismissable notifications bar. My alternative to those who would want to look up what was announced is a notifications page. I fixed the formatting of my quoteblock to hopefully reflect that it contains a sub-quote. I have reread your earlier comment and I think we've suffered from hearing different things from read text. I read the second sentence as "So, what if someone dismisses..." to mean 'how do we cater to someone who dismisses it', where now I think you are saying "So What" as in "Who cares if they dismiss it".

@John Gardeniers, I'm sorry, but I can't be in the business of spoon-feeding information to everyone. The core audience, I think, will either not care about "what did that say", will read an unusual notification before clicking a 'dismiss' button, and knows where to discover information. Sure there are plenty of 'click first, ask questions later' types, but you honestly cannot cater to everyone, and right now, that blazing blue banner (in SF) seems to be annoying the core of that community.

Odd, I don't receive that error on v6.0.472.55 for Windows. What are you security settings at?
