Usage -

	* Set global option where all alerts will be displayed. For each messsage event and channel an individual display location can be selected.
	* All 4 supported display locations can always be set in the options. Locations that are not available are grayed out but still can be selected.
	* Default UI Frame is fallback location if non-available locations is set for display. This way temporarily disabled addons won't mess with your settings.
	* 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.
