Forcing everyone to vote is probably not the best idea.... We did give everyone plenty of reminders though. During the voting period we had 1, 2, 3, 4 different reminders on the login screen. It was just one click away from taking you to the voting website.



I think you need to do something far more eye catching and noticable than that, i've never seen them images on login, not because they weren't there, simply because all those adverts ont he login screen blend into one and get blanked out automatically.

What you need to do is to make sure people read important anouncements is to put a sepereate screen in before you get into the login screen with a button at the bottom that makes you click to continue, this won't make everybody read it, but if it only appears for important issues like CSM votes etc then it's far more likely that people will stop and think "ooh whats this" and have a quick read.

I for one would love to be able to vote for the CSM when it comes up, but i never know when it's happening or how to do it because i'm A) not an obsessive forum reader and B) am so conditioned to those ads being there that i blank them out.

Really?

The same people who ignore the login screen messages want another screen that can just as easily be ignored?

Brilliant!

I don't judge people by their race, religion, color, size, age, gender, or ethnicity. I judge them by their grammar, spelling, syntax, punctuation, clarity of expression, and logical consistency.

A better idea would be to have no advertisements on the login screen at all so that users would know that anything that popped up was a message from ccp.
