    Notification Location

    When a temporary notification, for example "Collectible Added Three herbs have been added to the storehouse" pops up, it obscures the information toolbars at the top of the screen. Guess when I absolutely NEED to see what my pop is, how many settlers are free and where my troops are assigned? You got it - while I'm picking up collectibles and absolutely every single time an explorer or geologist finishes a job. It's driving me crazy. It's like having a chipmunk living inside the skin of your leg - and he wants to run a few laps every time you try to go to sleep. It's weird, misplaced and annoying. Ok, maybe we should just leave metaphors out of it?

    This should be easy to fix. Could you just move the popup notifications down the screen a bit, please? Since they tile downwards and then magically move upwards (to obscure the information bar) as the initial ones fade away, it's obvious that someone round there has some skill with that sort of thing.

    Just make the first one pop up right below the information bar and shift the rest of the lot accordingly.

    It's been fixed on test. C'mon live.

    This issue has been mentioned to the devs and on forums so many times, everyone's lost count. As noted by Gwalben, they just fixed it on the test server with much rejoicing, so this will hopefully make it to the live servers soon.

    It still works. Just put your cursor up real close to the pop-up and you can get the population window to open.

    depends on screen size, they just need to move the starting point of notifications some pixels below and will be good

    Indeed. Often, this sort of thing missed by devs and QA when running maximized windows on wide resolutions. It's easy not to realize the potential issue when there's a large gap of open real estate between the profile portrait and the population count.
