I'm probably wasting my time posting here, because no one that could make a difference seems to give a damn anymore, but here goes anyway...

I now have a red dot to the right of my profile pic at the top of the page. It's where the normal blue 'notifications' dot appears. This one is red and has a "1" in it. What is it? And how do I make it go away?

It would be DEEPLY appreciated if someone in the admin / mod realm would have the courtesy to respond.
