I agree. When you make it look exactly like the alert bar it looks like the site is trying to install something. If you want to add some kind of notification to alert unregistered users that is fine, but I think you should use your own design and make it noticeably different from the alert bar.
When the alert bar pops up on a page that should not need to install any software it makes your site look like it may be trying to infect my computer with a virus or spyware. |

| It is all done with CSS and easy enough to change the colors to suit and the icon could be anything. If it was JavaScript, then most turn it off and they do not install stuff. I know I do not if I am not sure on the source. |

You can see a demo here. Look in the upper right corner.
I've been using your MOD for quite some time and it worked beautifully. Recently, sometime during the last Flash update or two, it disappeared from my pages. No changes were made in my code during that time, so I believe it has to do with the Flash update ... 10.2 or 10.3.
Any ideas, Leatherlips? |

Hope this doesn't become confusing - there are actually 2 MODS being discussed in this thread; both have a similar purpose.
Anyway, I am referring the Page Ear MOD.
I'm not sure that it is IE9 - which IS what I use, but I have been using it since it was in beta and it worked fine until maybe 2 months ago. The "Ear" then disappeared. No error messages or anything, it just doesn't show. http://www.mohicanpress.om/messageboard/
Perhaps it happened during an update, as FireFox 5 works, after installing the Flash plug-in. [Just tested as we speak]
So, iane87, looks as if you are correct. Thanks -
Might have to switch to the Alert Bar ...

| Perhaps the text on the bar is too big and it displays an error message. I'll look at that and say |
