There's something weird with notifications. It likely has something to do with the fact that this is a custom template to match the look of the site, it's been present thru a few back end upgrades - that being said I can usually get these cleared out.
Can you shoot me a screenshot of what you're seeing. Either post it here as an attachment here (preferred so others can see if they're having the same problem) or email it to me tomas @ stephenkingcollector.com
