Annoying mylot New alert(s) box

Use your mouse to move it. Or delete all alerts after reading it.Then it'll go.

I know, the alret box is very irritating! Unless you delete the alert itself there is no other way you can get rid of the box.

That box bothers me, too. It gets in the way of the search box, as you said. I am finding that i use the search box less and less now that I have more friends to reply to here on Mylot and now that I have more interests selected, but I still get very distracted when I see that alert thingy in the top corner of my screen and I wish to get rid of it as soon as possible when it is up there. What you need to do is look at each alert that you have and press the delete icon. Then the box will go away! ^_^
