I notice on my gallery layouts, there's a check box in the upper left hand corner of every one of my layouts. I've never seen it before. Is it new? What's it for? It's actually kind of annoying, so I'm hoping I just hit something I shouldn't have and I can clear it up.
 
The check boxes are something everyone sees when viewing their own gallery thumbnails. They are used if you want to manage multiple layouts (delete them, move them, etc.). I know it's been part of the gallery software for quite some time, but I don't know of an option to turn it off.

I get what you're saying though. Most of the time I don't notice the boxes, but then when I do, I can't not look at them. It's kind of like how I'm not normally consciously aware of my glasses, which I wear every waking moment, but then if I actually think about it I'm hyper-aware to the point that it's distracting. (My glasses are really bugging me right now since I typed that. :giggle)
 
I've been here since 2010 and I have never noticed them, either. *blush*
 
Usually I don't notice it, but usually I don't "hang out" in my own gallery unless I'm grabbing the code to post my LO in a challenge thread. But, sometimes I like to go through my gallery and delete LOs that don't speak to me anymore. The little box makes that so much easier!
 
I have never noticed I dont believe, if I have already forgotten. #refusingtogolooknow
 
as far as I know its always been there........ I'm always afraid to click on it thinking somehow my layout will get deleted!
 
So if I check the little box will it bring up a menu that allows me to delete that layoutfrom the gallery? That would sure be helpful as occasionally I get two of the same layout in the gallery and I have no idea how it happened and have not been able to figure out how to delete the extra one.

Yes. However, you can also delete an individual layout too. In the pink icons, the 4th one over above your layout is a trash can. That will delete the layout.
