A perfect example of why the Announcements forums STILL aren't working.

[Hazza]

There is enough announcement forums

Then, I think the Community Notice Board should be used for Name Changes etc.
Why not?

[GommeInc]

What they should do is when an important announcement that effects EVERYONE announced, the forum shouldn't be posted in for at least a day or 2. Or have the thread moved to the top.

Maybe changing Event to Community - so not just events can go there.

I'd prefer that: much neater!

Isn't that how it is now?

Its perfectly fine as it is.

If someone such as yourself is that concerned you will open up the section and view the new threads inside it, just like anyone else will.

It's ok as it is I think with the amount of announcment forums, but for "major" announcements that really need to be seen I don't see why we can't use the mandatory viewing (as has been used before). It's an inconvenience for all of a couple of seconds if you don't care, and if it's only used for the real safety issues such as the thread mentioned here, it won't be a problem.

"It has come to our attention that a number of sites have created a replica of the Habboxforum login page in order to phish for user account details."

Now, i'm sure you'd agree, that is very important... and it's posted over, by:

Name Changes
Trial Results
Lumpesh returning as HabboxLive DJ

Now, good for Lumpesh and all those, but i'm sure people care alot more about possibly being phished instead of Lumpesh coming back to HabboxLive.

Wait er...am I ******ed? I swear I force read the thread for that exact reason, I anticipated this thread and was like, ok I have to post name changes I'll force this thread because its important. Did nobody get forced to read that? :eusa_wall But yeah in the future we'll force-read threads like those.

My bad

That's exactly how it is now except for different forum names.
