For dot (.):
Notice this dot between my name and start of phrase (in Croatian) Novi skriveni postovi... which is in header, on top right position.
I use vBNotifications (Pro) also, that may influence it.
And one my moderator reported (so far, I just installed it) that she see new hidden posts. Actually, she sees notice about new hidden posts, all of them, but can actually see only posts she could see.
So, if you could make somehow that notice isn't shown if there's no hidden posts that moderators couldn't see? That they see notice only about hidden posts they actually could see?
EDIT: Just to add html code that causes dot:
HTML Code:
<li class="welcomelink">
Dobrodošli,
<a rel="nofollow" href="http://slobodni.net/users/4/">Alan_SP</a>
.
<a rel="nofollow" href="http://slobodni.net/sohp.php?do=viewposts&type=moderated">Novi skriveni postovi: 2 </a>
</li>
Dot is obvious here, but don't know where it comes from.
