After module updates (10/2), constant red Error in right corner

A follow-up here.

Last night, 10/3, when going to the Dashboard, it hung there at 80% and never seemed to time out and go to the Dashboard.

Refresh did nothing accept to start it up again and hang, but I was able to click on “Dashboard” in the UI and for an instant was able to capture the error before it refreshed completely again.

I figured I had best go to the forum and update this and found the forums were down. Ah Ha! The culprit! If your feeds are having issues, my Dashboard is having issues! Therefore the red Error on all pages, I would assume.

Is there a timeout on these feeds? And if your feeds are down, why would an error show up making me believe it is an error with my box?

Just some thoughts for clarity and ease of use.
