I get the Forum Alert, but the box is blank and it doesn't show where or what I have been mentioned on and by who, just the "Forum Mention" line. I use that to go to the forum I have been talking on and reply to who I've been talking to and with this bug happening it's harder to do.

I use Google Chrome on Windows Vista.

Have you checked your ping history?

Yes, it shows up in my ping history, just not on the sidebar - it looks like it has been fixed however. I thank whoever fixed it. Or perhaps it fixed itself.

Since it looks like this fixed itself, I'll go ahead and lock up this thread. :)
