Honestly man, one thing I've learned from talking to hundreds, possibly thousands of people on this forum is that when people tell me they are sure of something, 90% of the time they are wrong. The reason you just noticed this notification is either: a) you just happened to notice b) you turned on NoScript recently JavaScript has always been a part of this forum. I noticed the notifications myself long ago when I turned on NoScript and didn't have the notifications disabled. Nothing has changed about that. You are simply mistaken about this being a new notification on the forum. What should you do? a) Disable JavaScript on the forum? Yes, that's fine. b) Leave JavaScript on? Yes, that's also fine. I see no problem with either option and you've turned a non-issue into an issue.
