I can understand the reasoning for putting the message there in the first place but the apparent resistance to allowing it to be dismissed once it has been acknowledged strikes me as rather perverse. It is possible that such a design may lead to an increase in account creation but if the user's motivation is something other than editing the map then I fail to see how this helps the project. > I will feed these comments back, and ask for the issue to be > reconsidered, but please this is by no means a guarantee that thing > will be changed. Of course it would be preferable to do the right thing by default but it is hardly the end of the world if the welcome box is not closable. Overall I think the new design is an improvement over the current site and I can easily nuke the welcome box via userContent.css should the need arise. :) -- Regards, Andy Street _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
