If you click very carefully on the period, you'll get there. What you see may shock you!

Recent "Special Announcement"?

I don't remember exactly when it started, but yesterday or today, there was a banner announcement, on BF, from Ibobi, obviously an administrator. But there was no announcement, only a film link, that looked like an ad, so I refrained from clicking on it.
Then today, they downloaded iOS 12.2, and that banner went away. Anyone know what that was all about?
I almost didn't let them update my OS, this being April first & all, but it was already downloaded, so would have updated itself anyways, wether I wanted it or not.
Maybe this is normal, for Apple? Please educate a dummy. 🤔🙂

Make the OP a junior moderator, he seems bursting with potential.

It was strange. Thanks for confirming, that at least I wasn't just "seeing things". 😲😁

There is another one with two periods. Add a period and you've got hockey!

Not seeing things, it happens now and then and it wasn't just from iBobi, I suspect IB folks are testing or more likely it was April First folks....
