"hide" announcements?

This week (or maybe last week, I don't remember) announcements show at the top whenever I am in a sub-forum. And those announcements still shows after I have read them. Is there a way to "hide" them from the top of the web page when I am in a sub-forum?
Why do I want to do this? Because the announcements "steal" precious screen estate so fewer threads shows up on my screen.
(If I want to read them again, I can just read them in the announcements sub-forum)

Forum Announcements...

Forum Announcements...

Is there a way to turn them off? I've read them all, that was many months ago , and they're still there and still annoying.

I asked the same thing, but no answers so far.
So (for now at least) the answer seems to be "no".

It seems like other members want to know too.

The short answer is "no."

The announcement for the VCF will go away in less than a month but it will be replaced by another for the VCF MidWest.

The other two are what I consider to be important information for all users and while the seasoned folks have seen them, new folks (who arrive every day) have not and I don't have the ability to "hide when read."

I'll take a look to see if I can merge the two forum related announcements - "how to deal with the mods" and "guidelines." The sponsored events ones will come and go.

Hopefully y'all can find a way to get past the annoyance of having them up there and move on to the pleasure of geeking out with your vintage (computing) friends.

I've never noticed the announcements, but then again I mainly browse "What's New" and right-click directly to the latest post of the threads I want to read. Only once in a while I go from the index to a subsection, in that case to post a new thread.

Erik, thanks for providing the answer.
And yes, we'll manage to get on wih the vintage stuff.
