Now, i'm supposing that this is from the phpbber folks, but could someone explain what on earth it means? or if it's even important?? :confused:

You're not the only one who was wondering.

Can we safely ignore it?

The sudden intrusion of an unknown person putting up a sign like that makes me feel like I've been caught at home naked by a stranger. :neutral:

Yes, I got a fright when I saw it - thought it was a warning of some kind, virus attack or whatever.

But I guess it's phpbb making an announcement - they put the ads in here, so they can make announcements, too, I suppose.
(Imp, I don't think they come in here and put the sign up - they just have this space which they can access generally for all the boards using their platform.)

It advertises the new Shop button - and they say it'll be gone in 24hrs - so no worries, I guess. :)

So since we're not going to be using it and the message is supposed to disappear, I think this is nicely wrapped up.
