--- Comment #4 from James Alexander <[email protected]> ---
I, sadly, don't have much to add here. This is, literally, one of the longest
running discussions on central notice (if not the longest running one) we've
made the bump much better but it is not going to be perfect. You are correct,
your design would be nice for the bump and it's certainly an option for people
to use but it is unlikely to become the default people use. It's benefits for
you (less annoying, only showing a header, need to click to see the rest) are
also the weaknesses for some of those showing the banner (less annoying,
significantly less see it and find out more). 

In the end that is a possibility in the current (though not default) CN system
and I would personally prefer to see it used more often but I have to be honest
and say I wouldn't use it for things that I 'really' wanted people to see. I've
found that small banners like that are just too easily ignored with banner
blindness  and people move on.

I think coming up with creative ways to do the banner is very helpful, but in
the end this is more of a selling process of convincing those who use the
banner (both community and staff) to use them. In the end I would prefer to try
and find a way to lessen or eliminate the bump, but I also know that we have
been working on it for years off and on without finding a great answer and it
is not going to happen overnight.
