Now obviously, as people have noted up thread, there are some browsers at some zoom levels where the X can be found. But on all browsers, the WikiaNotifications box (to give it more or less its proper name) has been: Older users, or people who go to other Wikia wikis, may remember that the default condition of the box is to be about 50px to the right of the right margin so that it doesn't actually get in the way of you reading a page.
 * reskinned to stand out more
 * shoved hundreds of pixels to the left
 * made to significantly overlap the right margin of the page so that you cannot miss it

I want it in the way so that you have to consciously, firmly dismiss it. It needs to be "tastefully annoying", not "artfully unobtrusive".
