Possibly. Does it actually need to be there at all? I remember when it arrived though!

 

I don't know if it serves any practical purpose - perhaps removal would be better?

You mean remove both messages?

The main problem was the layout shift and people clicking the wrong place when going back to the page and the links moving up when the message disappeared.

Yep, could be an option. Would free up visible space on the page and presumably lighten the page load slightly. I recall the original message being added ages ago, but don't remember the reasoning.

The message is there so people know that it will not update if they move it to a different monitor and use another window.

Could that be accomplished with a colour change to a different existing element like the light grey bar with the username and read flags info instead? As opposed to the additional element taking space.

 

Not a huge priority of course, just a suggestion.
