pretty sure I've never gotten a pop up or color change in the side panel area ever since we've changed to this version.
I used to reply to PM's like 2 weeks late because of that.
It's rather strange because I got the PM pop up that I set my UCP to say however next to PM's it should have (1) or maybe (2) depending on the number you have that are unread
I'm bumping this, because a new problem has arised, very similar to this.
I have "Show New Private Message Notification Pop-up" enabled. Just a few hours ago, I sent CarnageX a pm. Apparently he replied to it. I never got the pop-up.
It is something you are doing. Cause I got a PM just this morning and it notified me as soon as the site loaded with a pop up. It even took me away from my other tab and made TF the focus and showed me the pop up.
So the notifications are working properly. At least in Chrome. I have heard lots of issues with the beloved Firefox as of late. Maybe that is the source of the issue and not the site itself...
