I think their messages that are sent out to everyone who is logged in.

I was logged on last night when they were making changes to the system sounds. Several broadcast messages were sent out. They are sent out to everyone logged in by one of the admins or CL's whenever they have something important they want everyone to know.

Well, apparently Q wants everyone to know that he's legend. :D

How do broadcast messages differ from quick notes?

i believe the difference is that broadcast messages can only be sent by a cl or admin and they are very similar to system messages.

The Professor is correct. Also, and I'm not 100% sure about this, but I think you have to have public quicknotes enabled in order to hear the broadcast message. I can't remember ever getting one when I had only private qn's enabled.

No that's for system sounds. Broadcast messages come regardless.
