Ideally it would stick to the top of the page, otherwise have it scroll with the content.
When looking at the frontpage of the the forums you can either see the forum posts, or see the notification icon, but not both, because of the large icon set for the various forums that exists between the two.
It would make the page more functional for this to be visible at all times.

Renewal Email
Much to my surprise I just received a renewal offer email for my membership, despite it already being renewed a few weeks ago as a part of the whole "whoops processing" kerfuffle.
In checking my membership (to confirm that I did not renew) I see that my renewal date matches up with when I signed up, not when premium started last year.
So can you check the process that is sending those emails, and the one for renewal dates? Not sure that things are all that accurate there.

X-Box Gold and game discounts
Given the significant savings that are going on right now I thought of picking up a few games.
The whole family account thing is really messed up for XBox. With one kid away at college, it has become impossible to have games running in multiple places when owned by the families account, so I thought that I would just pick up the games I want on my account. The downside is that the Live account is based on our shared account, which would then require me to login as that account when playing games, which just doesn't work for a larger family.
My question is, could I sign up for a month of Live, buy the games I want at a discount, and then not actually use that Live account, but continue to use the games even when that month has expired? I don't see any reason why that would not be the case, but MS does some really strange and random things with X-Box.
