In GE Classic, the Alerts appear in the middle of the screen, are larger and clear (also) by hitting enter on keyboard. FCG alerts are tiny, in the corner of screen, can't re-size them and most importantly DON'T disappear when you move from that record to another. I once had about 10 alerts stacked up on my screen and couldn't identify which record, grant, fund, etc. any of them were associated with.
