HF News - Notification?

I agree with this.

Maybe not a notification, but something less obvious. Maybe just a small text on the top right hand corner of the index.

I really don't want a flashing green notification on the top of my page saying "New Edition of HF News Out!"

It would be a one time thing.

When the news come out, it notifies all users, when you click it, it goes away. After a certain amount of days without being clicked, it goes off the page automatically.
I agree with this. Will bring more attention to news.
I completely agree with this. I feel that the HF news should be noticed a bit more, and this would definitely help.
I've recently started reading it and it's pretty enjoyable to read, and I'm sure others will enjoy it too.
For those who don't want it, maybe have an option where it can be enabled/disabled, even though it is only once a week.

Hope this gets implemented soon!

This would be awesome.
I support the idea.

But if he doesn't make this plugin for myBB, then what else will there be?
Better to have something than nothing.
Spafic, you can make a plugin based on this idea.
If a thread is posted there the notification automatically comes up.
That would be nice, but users should have the option to disable it, and it should disapear once viewed.
Notifications of replys should not be implimented.
I guess this could keep more people up to date with site announcements and news.
Seems like a pretty nice feature, although it should be optional.
I would like this, it would bring more attention and alert everyone who reads. You could also turn it off if you don't like it.

Yeah, I understand.

So if this suggestion isn't approved than of course you can go ahead and make a script. It'd be nice. 😊
Seems like this would create an influx of members toward the HF News. Plus, the news usually gives members some interesting up-to-date things of what is going on with the forum. It could actually be a great feature.
The only problem with your suggestion is...you need to take into account the majority of HF and not the majority of news readers.

Would it be that hard to click an "x" one time per week?
