Had an alert by my user name?

Is this a new format for the "Alerts" area?

I don't remember ever seeing the "Alert" button next to the username.

No big deal, just wondering if there was some hidden benefit.

The alert notification used to stay "pinned" to the top, even when scrolling down through the post. Now, it scrolls away as I scroll down through the post. Is there anyway to bring back that feature?

I'm noticing a few things that are "new" / "different":
1) Alerts now also show a red "1" next to my user name, as well as the Alerts "1"
2) When reading a thread, the registration date and location of users is gone unless you hover over their avatar
3) When at the main page (The TalkBass Forums: Uniting the Low End Since 1998) the little drop down to be able to quickly jump to a specific subforum is gone

I know I saw other things as well, but what they were escapes me right now.

I did a cosmetic upgrade last night (style framework). As mentioned earlier the alert balloon next to your username is an unintended consequence, and it'll be removed soon. Just ignore it until then :)

Any other unintended consequences, please let me know. @rufus.K I'm not sure what would be making your android browser not behave correctly. I can look into it, but maybe a cache refresh is needed?

If I was browsing a forum, and I was say midway down a list of threads and clicked on one, then browser'd back to the list... in the past it would leave me in the middle of the list again whereally I was, now it brings me to the top of the list.
Not really an issue, maybe it has nothing to do with TB's software. I haven't updated my browser though. It's not a big deal.

Sorry. It's still doing it. Every 30 seconds Ajax is loading the Alert data and redundantly populating it next to the profile. Then the display:none in css.php is hiding it a fraction of a second after the Ajax call. I see it on mobile and desktop.

I understand the css workaround (I use it all the time) but it may have to be fixed in the js or ajax call.

Looks like xenfro.min.js is the same version as it was before the recent update. I suspect other xenfro installs may have the same issue.

Click to expand...

This appears to be because we use an addon called Live Update which fetches the total alert count every 30 secs. It puts the total in your browser tab. I'll try a different way of hiding it.
