I notice that, using Firefox 2.0, the flashing indicator stops flashing and it looks like it's not there. However, it's still there as I can tell there's more space between My Stuff and User List than normally. Seems to be some type of caching issue with Firefox or something because a View Image + hard refresh brings it back. Perhaps the same thing is happening w/ you?
