Maybe this was posted elsewhere, this is my first access to this section.

I thought it would be nice if we could Post Announcements on our PLEX Servers for our viewing community. Announcing coming new movies/tv shows or fix’s to errors found in old movies (like missing a sound track) that have been corrected. Quick, easy text messages that would scroll across the top of the server page, maybe putting a time limit on how long they’re displayed or if acknowledged they’ve been seen by the user, they’re removed for that user.

Information on planned maintenance (running every 20min or so) Restart information (one time message) and so on. This would be nice to have when you have a shared server.
