B.A. 1,110 Member · Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 There should only be two of them. I removed the latest posts one as that's been there awhile. The secret santa one needs to stay a bit longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I figured out the problem...though it changes my browsing habits for the internet in general. I don’t have cookies enabled on my browser. Enabling it disables the banners once and for all when I click them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any way to store that flag in the DB with the user profile data or is it just part of the forum software that you don’t have access to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the way it's built, and tbh I can see why - having a bunch of bool flags on every user account, adding up every single time we do an announcement? That'll add up a lot over time and would make the database unnecessarily huge. Especially considering that those announcements are all temporary.

I’m glad you mentioned the temporary nature of them as I would have proposed a lastestBanner flag so it would be a single bool field per user but since it’s baked in to the software it’s a moot point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
