Jul 12, 2017 at 15:02 comment added Lightness Races in Orbit When I saw this meta question earlier, I didn't care. ~8 SE sites later, I care. Bad UX. Almost as bad as the "we use cookies" warnings I have to keep dismissing all across the web; almost.

Jul 12, 2017 at 9:53 comment added Nog Shine If we close a banner on a site, it doesn't appear again. But when I change to other site, it is showing up. I closed it again. I think there should be a dialogue box like we see when we unupvote a comment.

Jul 12, 2017 at 8:13 comment added rene Mod Isn't it fun when a small feature turns out in a 6 to 8 weeks monster with many fail cases. And here we are only talking about a banner ... don't get me started on a Q/A feature ...
Jul 12, 2017 at 8:10 comment added Mithical Gah. I just switched devices and now I have to dismiss them all again - could this also be account-based so that I don't have to dismiss it on different devices?

Jul 12, 2017 at 7:58 comment added Adam Lear StaffMod @ShadowWizard Eh. If all else fails, there's always incognito windows. I could see a more robust feature set for account-specific, less temporary notices, but for stuff like this? I think it's fine not to worry about it too much.
Jul 12, 2017 at 7:50 comment added Shadow Wizard @Adam while at it, is this possible to bring the banner back after dismissing it? Someone might click the dismiss by mistake, or later regret it and check again what it said. If done network wide, better also add some option to bring it back, no?
Jul 12, 2017 at 7:48 comment added Shadow Wizard Thanks @Adam, this makes sense indeed.

Jul 12, 2017 at 7:40 comment added Adam Lear StaffMod @ShadowWizard On a second read of your comment... IMO the answer to "should the banner be dismissed on sites you join after dismissing it" is a solid "yes". This request reads to me as "make the dismiss work network-wide".
Jul 12, 2017 at 7:38 comment added Adam Lear StaffMod @ShadowWizard Eh, not really an issue. Even if all we can do is minimize impact... we could set a cookie for most Q&A sites at .stackexchange.com, which would also catch all new sites. That'd reduce the number of dismisses down to 7 (assuming no new SLDs). There are other things we can consider as well (e.g. account id-based entry in a cache shared by all sites for logged in users). Not sure if I'm missing any implications there off the top of my head, though... Hence my theory that it'll be a "next time" kind of thing. :)
Jul 12, 2017 at 7:00 comment added Optimus Prime I think SO give that much important to net neutrality
Jul 12, 2017 at 6:55 comment added Shadow Wizard Well it's bit tricky: what about sites you join after dismissing it on a site? Should the banner be dismissed there too?

Jul 12, 2017 at 5:53 comment added Adam Lear StaffMod Ah, good point. I don't know if we'll have a chance to make the changes needed to make it behave that way this time (the banner isn't gonna be live long enough for it to really matter, basically), but we should keep it in mind for any future dismissable banners that apply to multiple sites (I believe this is the first one we've ever done that does).
