Where's the little red bell gone?

The one that tells us we have a message in our inbox?

Seems to have disappeared since the revamp.

I know we get an email but they often don't arrive until quite some time after the message is sent. (interestingly, I seem to be receiving two emails for every PM)

Good question.

I thought the bell only appeared if you had a message?

Not just me then Battleax. I find that curiously comforting Smile

Yes Clown. But it hasn't been appearing when I have a message. I only know when I get the email to tell me.

Neither do I, which is why I want to know when I do Grin

The speech bubble icon also looks like it should be the new PM link, but it just goes back to Talk again.

We'll flag this with tech and someone will get back to you.

Bore and Battleax

I'm going to PM you both with a 'red bell test'! Perhaps you could do the same for me please?! I rarely get PMs these days, but it's worrying to miss anything, especially as I have all email notifications turned off!!

I bought this up when the revamp happened but nobody did anything about it. I was told to use a different browser.

specialsubject · 26/06/2018 21:25

upgrade = cockup. things that used to work dont and nothing else changes. tsb style.

Bah! I have no intention of using a different browser Kitten.

Thank you, Bore. No little red bell Sad

Thanks for being on the case, EstherMumsnet and MNHQ Tech. This really does need a fix, without people having to change browsers, as OYBBK said.

Battleax · 26/06/2018 23:03

No red dot here either Pan. I did reply to your PM.

PanPanPanPing · 27/06/2018 07:45

Got your PM, Battleax - sorry, I'd gone to bed by then! No red bell again!

Morning, folks. Tech are looking into this right now and say you should have the Little Red Bell back soon. Apologies!

Battleax · 27/06/2018 13:38

Thanks Hebe.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 27/06/2018 15:08

Great, thanks Hebe :)

PanPanPanPing · 27/06/2018 16:01

Thanks, and looking forward to it Grin

Where's the little red bell gone?
Battleax · 27/06/2018 16:34

It’s back Smile

PanPanPanPing · 27/06/2018 16:56

Well, I'm going to have to PM you now, Battleax!
