red box with red dot
Why does my name in the upper right corner have a red box with red dot beside it? Is that some sort of error message?

I am using FF windows 7.
It is normal now but several days ago the icon changed from the ripped paper to the box with the the dot. I thought it meant I had a message or something but I couldn't find any.

Since the last update, we've encountered some odd stuff on occasion. I'd say whatever it was, it was a temporary glitch. If you should see it again, try to get a screenshot. Just curious. I could also forward it to the techs to look at. They might have a clue.

I've had that ripped graphic for some time now. It amazes me that this forum program has so many glitches and limits that most others do not. If not for the people and Mods it wouldn't be worth it.
just a random thought...I wonder what would be the ramifications on this forum if an annual nominal fee (say $1 to $5) is charged to be an active member? With many of the limitation removed for paid members (no more time limit between post, custom avatar, etc...). Non paid member would still be allowed to read but not interact.

Ok, that's in the top of the DIY website header

I would never be back. There are plenty of free places to go.

I think the torn piece of paper means that there is a link to an image in the web page but the browser can’t find the image. But why the page would be built with a link to an image at that spot I guess would be a mystery. I would assume the replacement image would be the torn piece of paper and would be at the position on the web page to replace the missing image.
But I’m not 100% sure of all that. I guess the_tow_guy already covered this in post #6.
