    Little Blue Exclamation poin??

    What does the little blue exclamation point on the green WOT symbol on the WOT toolbar mean?? Normally there's a little gold star there.

    When I visited this site http://tools.whois.net/index.php?fuseaction=whois.... it appeared and I couldn't get it to go away no matter what site I went to, and then I shut down IE7 and restarted and it went away.

    Now I just visited that site again and there was no blue exclamation point. The gold star stayed.

    What was it??

    It means there's something you should see in the rating window.

    If it's a new message, the exclamation point goes away when you open the rating window. If it's a new version, it won't go away until you upgrade.

    Ratz . . . I can't get it

    Ratz . . . I can't get it back, so whatever I would have seen in the rating window is gone forever I guess. Is there a log??

      The message is still there, only the exclamation mark goes away once the add-on thinks you've seen it.

    Well . . . I can't find it.

    Well . . . I can't find it. Looking at the ratings window and don't see any "click on this for update" thing anywhere. Is there another place it might be??

    I have version 8.8.11.0. Is that the latest?? Have you guys put out an update recently?

      Re: Well . . . I can't find it.

      The exclamation mark was about the message we changed today. Right now, there are no pending updates that would show up on the IE add-on.

    Re: Well . . . I can't find it.

    I just saw the little exclamation point for Google ...when I looked at the info page it looked exactly the same as it did yesterday, before I saw the little exclamation point.

    They should make the new information stand out some way or pop up a change summary so people can more easily see what it is that WOT thinks is so important for us to know. WOT also needs to add the exclamation point to the legend so people don't have to search their whole website and then come to the forums for the answer to such a simple question as 'what is the little exclamation point.'

      The exclamation mark doesn't refer to the website you're visiting, it simply means the message at the bottom of the rating window has changed, and it will go away when you open the rating window to see what's going on. It can also mean your add-on is out of date, in which case there's a big blue update button at the bottom of the rating window.
