Notes -

	If you are using Mik's Scrolling Battle Text (MSBT) or Parrot, you can create a custom scroll area called "BrokerChatAlerts" otherwise the default Notification scroll area will be used. 
	
	SCT and the Blizzard Scrolling Text both use their default locations.

	Text alerts displayed using Mik's Scrolling Battle Text (MSBT) or the Blizzard Scrolling Text do not text wrap and longer messages will run off the screen.
