Strange number and icon appearing where notification icon...

Since yesterday I think, a number and an icon keep appearing where the message notification icon appears. I clicked on it and got what seems to be site stats or something. Is this a site error, is the site hacked or something?

They just moved location, not a bug and you can ignore them.

Cool, I was just concerned that it might be a bug that would hurt the site. Thanks for the quick response.

That's a "traffic" indicator... been around for years, but used to be located in the top right corner of the page.

The thing I don't like about it's location is that it catches your eye as it's not on every page. It tricks me into looking up briefly thinking it's a site message or an IM. Better location would be to place it where it was... top far right portion of the screen.
