<p dir="auto">Our "community" has over 10 million users and that thread has, if I'm reading right, a single reply that appears to support the idea so I think saying the community reacted positively may be overstating things a little.</p>
<p dir="auto">Given you appear to be proposing a modal (something that will be very controversial) for the whole web site I'm not really sure what iD has to do with this.</p>
<p dir="auto">I think the primary concern about a modal dialog like this is that you're looking at it from the point of view of a new user who occasionally gets one or two messages - if we consider it from the point of a very active mapper who probably always has new messages arriving then the result would be this modal popping up and having to be dismissed every time they visit the site which I'm guessing might not be very popular.</p>
