Good suggestions. Hopefully Michel will consider ideas in this thread.

>People still won't see it if they aren't logged in that day, and don't go back to look...maybe there should be a banner, or something like that, in the top pane...under the adds. With a link to a page discussing the changes. The banner would only appear for the time period right before the changes, and for a few weeks following.

>Some forums have the concept of a "sticky" topic, that will always show as a current thread as long as it is sticky. In the UT's case, I guess a sticky topic would always show as a new, un-read message.

>>IMO, the best way to address the issue is to have another topic under Universal Thread related topics that only UT admins can post to. Make an announcement there a couple of days before the change. You only need to bullet point what the changes are, then provide a link to the site changes page.

>>>I agree with you. The only problem is what is the best way of notification of these changes?

>>>On another forum which I'm kind of frequent now the tech person removed the "Update" button without any notifications to the users. I started a battle (which I lost :)) saying it's unappropriate to do such things and even used UT as an example of good functionality... He-he :)
