For anyone else who cares, you can use AdBlock's "Element Hiding Rules" to stop the floating bar at the top. Use the filter: enworld.org###multix You can then check your notifications by visiting your personal profile page.
My only problem now is that I used to disable AdBlock on ENWorld so that the site still got my advertising views/clicks. Turning the element hider on also turns on the ad blocking. I'll have to do some more testing later to see if there's a way to hide elements but allow ads through.
Perhaps I'm too inexperienced and unfamiliar with the Adblock system. I have it enabled but can't seem to find and properly change the element you are talking about.
