I mean, what's up with that? Haven't seen anyone discussing that, and I'm sure it'll be back (soon hopefully), but any ETA on that particular problem? I miss the blinking (or was it?) envelope symbol next to my messages when I got a new one. Constantly checking manually is a painful experience, and I'm sure everyone would welcome that feature back rather sooner than later. Can't be that much work, right? On behalf of the community, thank you in advance.
In those threads it's confirmed just by you, and as far as I know you are still not in direct touch with the owls (seriously, apply). Confirmed (even by the community helper), but not addressed is not enough.
