Is it just me, or does anyone else get a semi transparent rectangular black box with the words "My Alerts" on their screen when they log onto the VATUSA site?   It's the only site that I get this box, and when I come to the forums, it's not there, but go back to the home page, and it's there again.

Scott,

You may not have noticed, but the "My Alerts" list above the "Most Popular" list is no longer there.  The alerts that would normally have shown in this section have been moved to a new feature; the aforementioned semi-transparent black box.

As you can see in the image below, the alerts stack up and can be closed.  A simple refresh will bring them back.

Well actually, my "My Alerts" box just sticks to the bottom right of my browser even if I scroll, any suggestions?

That's how it's supposed to be.

MM.. thanks for the explaination, so, I don't have any alerts, cuz I just got the one box, so will that just stay there and float during scrolls?  I noticed in your attachment the "close all" link, but does it keep the box there, just with nothing in it?

I have never seen that, using FireFox.
I probably should see it.
