Close notices?!

[Robert9]

Really less users here will believe me, but ...

... there are really, really much people who dont understand how to get rid of notices.
It seems that a lot of people dont see and/or dont understand that they can click away the noctices.

And yes, the last sentence in every notice is now until some month:

Hey, you can close this notice with a click on the X on the left side!



What I really need now, is a big, red area with a 72 Arial superfat

CLICK ME AND CLOSE THIS WINDOW HERE!

area under the notice or a linked text like that inside the text. Do we have something like that?

Can someone add such a big, fat clickable area in a small template-mod?

---

Can we maybe find a better solution like:

Show this notice ten times.

Or show it one time large and then move it to something small, the people can reopen (or click away)

Just add the red large text to the notice?

 

[Robert9]

Ok, ok, maybe I just need to find X and replace it with "CLOSE ME!"

 

[Robert9]

I have such a text, but not in this size and color. If I were a user in my forum believing that I cannot click away all these notices, I would never come back again to such a forum. Maybe I lose a lot of users because of this. This is perhaps a much bigger problem than I thought.

Can I replace x with "close me!"?

I will go and search now ...

Edit the notice_dismiss phrase, or the same named template if you want to make bigger changes.

Yes, I can add "Close Window", opacity=1, text-decoration:underline, and try to get rid of the X
Or maybe increase the X.

Or think about another way of help people to get rid of this.

The carousel is no option because then the text must have more or less the same length. With one long text, you steal too much place on the screen.

But why the hell so many people don't understand using an X to close a window?

Every time I login as a user to help, I am frightened how people can live with all these messages.

And, I just understand now, new users must be frightened also. Hmmm ...

I increased the X in size and use an X in a circle. Also add the word Dismiss:

.notice-content a.notice-dismiss:after {
    font-family:"Font Awesome 5 Pro";
    content: " \f057";
    font-size:28px;
    display:inline}

.notice-content a.notice-dismiss:before {
    font-family: "Arial";
    font-weight:700;
    content: "Dismiss: ";
    display:inline}
