How to permanently dismiss update announcement without disabling?

[zcutlip]

I would like to dismiss the update announcment on the start page until there's a new update that I haven't read.

I've clicked through and read the blog post. I've also clicked the [x] to dismiss the announcement. I've also donated, because I love Bonjourr and use it on all my devices. But it always comes back!

I don't want to disable announcements entirely, because I like knowing about updates and new features. But once I've read and dismissed the announcement, I'm ready for it to go away.

This sounds like a bug, not a feature-by-design.

I've never experienced a non-dismissable Bonjourr announcements, so I'm thinking it may be a recent regression or something configuration-specific. But I do remember being a bit confused by a recent Bonjourr announcement, in that it wasn't clear how to dismiss it. Somehow I figured it out, but I don't recall exactly what I did (perhaps I just clicked on the announcement?).

You mentioned that you clicked the [x] to dismiss the announcement, but I don't see that [x] in the screenshot you provided. Where was it?

It appears when you mouseover; I've attached a screen recording.

Now that I think about it, I'm running a pretty non-standard environment. I'm using the Firefox extension with Kagi's web browser Orion. I wonder if it may be a bug with Orion. I'll experiment with other browsers to see if I can reproduce the issue.

Sorry for being so late, I always forget GitHub discussions exist 😭

As @Gitoffthelawn said, it sounds like a bug, the announcement shouldn't come back once you've closed it once. I actually tried Bonjourr on Orion a few weeks ago and experienced a bunch of bugs I had never seen anywhere else, so I wouldn't be surprised if that was it.

If you've donated (thank you btw 🫡), you probably receive emails from Ko-fi anyway if we post something, so you could just turn off the announcements entirely if it becomes too annoying.
