I now see it on *most* good Questions I find via Google. It's the most prominent element on the page. **It drowns out both the title and the question body.** Please consider tweaking that message, as suggested in the Meta question above. --- <sup>\*I would argue that the message is *wrong*, too. The question is not "highly active". It is perhaps "highly viewed", or "highly active at some time in the past", but I doubt that the 10 year old programming questions I'm finding via Google are *currently* "highly active".</sup> <sup>This makes the entire banner feel broken. Every time I see it, I do the mental math of *"...this question? ...highly active? why?"*</sup> [1]: https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/339762/287315
