Very cool!

Forgot to add - we can change the default black & white to something more visually appealing. I'll crowdsource that decision. So start throwing your html color codes at me. 😉

Although some might not like it as it could stand out a bit, how about the red & white colors of CE for uniformity?

Red and white is good; but plain colors don't go well. Gradients will need use of image which I want to avoid. Yes, we can try out couple of shades. How about the shades of orange?

Nice to have feature, Something like outlook email notifications 😀
Orange would be nice !

Is there something wrong with the frequency or I am missing something?
I clicked on X icon, clicked on Dismiss notification, but every time I am going to this post or clicking on Community I am seeing this notification. This is not we intend to do, right?

You haven't dismissed the notification: In order to dismiss the notification, click on the 'Dismiss Notification' link and it will take you to page where you can completely dismiss it. Try it once and let me know if it fails 😀

That would be annoying, isn't it?
And browsing to couple of extra pages would cause extra load to severs?
In place of this, is it possible to implement something where the notification would be shown once, and after that it will be indicative only in the top left (the usual location).

Meanwhile, missed to say dismiss notification take me to different page and clicking on Dismiss notification is working fine.

Not bad at all

Well, not sure if it's annoying; because user is in complete control of whether to see the notifications or not. Once dismissed, we won't show the notification to user. New notifications will however be pushed to the users.
The notifications are completely different from the alerts system we have. Notifications system will only be used when we've something urgent that CEans should notice. For example if we're performing a site maintenance, we'd use notifications to alert all the users about the possible downtime.
We're currently using the notifications to inform new members how to post on CrazyEngineers.

I got it now,
I thought that the intent was to show a indication similar to alerts.
But if the intent is what you have explained just now, the implementation seems perfect.

The notifications are designed and placed such that they can't be missed and they go beyond the regular alerts. You won't see these notifications quite as often as you see alerts. 😀

The 'How to post on CE?' thread will now be super-useful to newbies. 👍 Earlier they found it difficult to spot that thread. Totally awesome feature! 😁It disappears so swiftly.

We can introduce gradients without using images. CSS3 ! Gradients, shadows, rounded corners 😀

There are lots of news websites that pop-up something when you scroll near the bottom of the page. They want to keep you captive, so they grab your attention to show you something else you might like to read.
I HATE that. I also hate rotating headlines and abstracts that change just as I get halfway through them. And I especially hate flashing ads. I want a flat page that lets ME choose what I see and read.
I'm not quite sure I saw the notification, but something popped up in the lower right corner and was gone before I could read it (I don't think I noticed it right away). I probably won't like it when I figure out what it is.

Why don't we have something like this:

#-Link-Snipped-# : I know, the notifications can be intrusive and annoying. That's why they're not going to be a regular feature here. As I said, we'll enable them only when something important is announced. The current notification only lasts for about 6 seconds. We can make them stay longer or shorter.
#-Link-Snipped-# : We can show them in any corner; but the bottom - right seems to be the most appropriate location. That way, it doesn't overlap with most of the controls.

#-Link-Snipped-# I just suggested designs... The placement is exact... 😀

We can definitely work on the designs. The one without avatar looks better in my opinion. But as I said, we won't use these notifications on regular basis. They are currently being employed to guide the new members who need help with posting on the site.

not feeling new(or)annoyed as many other sites are also following this model...so it doesn't make any difference for me...😉

Good feature.
This is very helpful feature specially for new members who are posting their query in Introduction section. We can send them notification when they are going to post new thread we can ask them to check proper section.
Once the user crosses some post count we can discard such notification for those users.

We've taken away the notifications as of now. They'll be back whenever we're announcing something new. 😀
