Scrolling Notice Board

In Question2Answer, there’s no built-in way for admins to broadcast important information to users.
Posting a question works initially, but the post soon gets buried as new questions arrive.
Using blog posts and marking them as featured is another workaround, but:

• too many featured posts reduces visibility,

• and minor announcements like “Site maintenance on 31st December 2025 to 2nd January 2026” don’t fit well as featured content.

Hence, Gateoverflow developed a plugin for that purpose. This plugin allows admins to create notices that appear prominently in the sidebar as a scrolling widget.

Notices remain visible to the selected type of audience regardless of new posts and don’t clutter the question or blog lists.
