Is this planned? I would very much use category based banners.

But then users wouldnât be able to close such a banner, would they?
Then it doesnât solve my issue )
Cool, thank you⊠I hope you donât mind, but I have one more tiny bit of feedback.
On a topic page, if youâre at the top of the page, the banner shows happily enough on a clear background, like so:
But as soon as you scroll even 1 pixel down the page, everything suddenly jumps up and the top of the post gets hidden behind the banner:
I know that this is a nit-pick, and that most people are never going to notice this (as I think most would just dismiss the banner once theyâve read it), but I noticed it, and I think others would too. So if instead of a sudden jump, as the banner goes from position: relative to fixed, I was thinking it might be good to keep an artificial margin at the top of the page, the same height as the banner, and have that be dismissed when the banner is dismissed?
Just an idea

I agree but this is complicated. If you can find a way that supports both topic and topic list pages, as well as custom header, Iâll be more than happy to merge it

I donât know if I should start a new thread for this or something, but Iâve had this report from a user:
FYI Iâve dismissed the welcome message on http://talk.birmingham.io several times now (on different machines) but was logged in
How is the dismissal handed? Is it based on a cookie, or is a record added to the user?
I may be wrong, but I believe if you edit the content of the post that is made a banner topic, it brings up the banner again for everyone and they have to dismiss it again. Iâve run into this a few times in our âstagingâ environment while our admins were trying to get the wording to be âwhat they wantedâ

That is how it works right now. The key of the banner topic is based on the actual content of the post.

Yeah, that makes sense. It would be even better if redisplaying it after an edit was optional.
