    I've noticed that too, and it's becoming a little bit irritating. Mods?

    I think it's part of the new forum software and a way that the site owner (Horse) can update everyone on system status. I am no sure if it is configurable through the user CP. I looked and didn't see anything.

    Updates and all would be fine, I can understand having something in place for that...I have the forum page bookmarked and my browser set to remember passwords for the site, so I don't see the login screen or anything posted there. Maybe have it disappear or not stick out as far when there's no new updates, or perhaps the ability to slide it up or down to get it out of the middle of the screen?

    I also couldn't find any options to hide it in the expanded tab itself.

    I only have a relatively small tweeter button called "tweeds". It only expands when I click with my mouse on it. Don't see the problem in that. The small box is easily ignored.

    Firefox users- just install this https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865
    After installation just right mouse click on 'tweets' and one of the options should be 'adblock image' or something like this. I don´t know the exact option name as I have it in Czech.
    Anyway, it works. Tweets doesn´t exist anymore on my screen.
    Maybe this could help as well How To Block Annoying Ads in Firefox

    IE users- this may be the solution IE AdBlock - Download

    my tweets box had a red box with the number 4 in it on the top right corner, it's gone now but what was that? Was there 4 messages for me or something?

    Don't see the box because I removed it with Firefox but for those that do see it is the forum twitter account link that horse uses when the forum is offline to keep everyone updated.

    As for those that saw the 4 messages, there was about that number yesterday whilst horse was keeping us updated. Nothing to worry about and they are not for you personally.

    Good to know it's nothing 'dangerous'. I've been keeping the cursor well away from it, in case I accidentally clicked on it, andinfected my computer, or launched an ICBM or something!!!
