'Support your local Basschat' banner

Just letting you know I have this evening started seeing the 'Support your local Basschat' banner on some, but not all, pages.

Clicking the banner brings up a window with the following text …

Hi there. I know subscriptions and bills are everywhere these days, but I wanted to ask a favour. Even if you don't use Basschat for selling, we'd really appreciate your support. Please consider purchasing a subscription (£20) and renewing this yearly (£18 - you'll get a reminder email when the time comes). You will then be promoted to ⭐ Supporting Member ⭐

Your support will reduce the need for third party advertising (which I hope to remove entirely) and help keep the site up to date and secure.

Think of it like a TV licence, except cheaper and better content. And if you don't pay we have detector vans that will replace all your basses with Rickenbackers.

Thanks!

 

This would all be well and good if I hadn't already become a supporting member a little under 24hrs ago, so I suspect it's not actually aimed at me.

I'm guessing if I'm seeing this, other already Supporting Members will also be seeing it too.

 

You may wanna tweak the code so only non-supporting members see it?

That's right, before i was becoming a supporting member there was a cross in the upper right corner of the message where I could close it, now that's no longer possible.

Even supporting members can donate a little extra to keep us ad free.

Fair enough, I've modified the settings.

It's probably something worth messaging privately about in future.  Even if it's not clear who exactly, any of the mods will ensure a message reaches the right person.

And there I was, thinking the 'Site Issues' board was for reporting issues with the site. 😂

How foolish of me.
