Inbox harder to find if any new mail?

[SarahL2491]

Am I trolling on my page wrong or is the inbox no longer showing if you have new messages when you hover over it (in the new format) with your mouse/finger/cursor?  It is cleaner looking but I miss seeing if there were any new messages without having to open the inbox itself.

Just a question/suggestion

Hi,

I'm not sure if returning the inbox notification to its old location is a possibility, but I will be sure to pass this feedback along so the site designers can review it.  Thank you!

Is there any way to go back to having the inbox on the page when you log in?...when you are posting?...when you are reading posts...etc? That and our short cuts, communities we belong to, were the one constant.

I am getting the impression that when there is an update, MH does not know how it affects the end user.  Is this correct?

I wondered where my short cuts and inbox went a couple of days ago though did manage to locate after some confusion.

This reminds me of last year when we lost the ability to email posts as well as some of our members.  It was helpful as I used it to try to show family and friends how others were dealing with HCV and tx.
I see this option remains in other communities on MH

Thank you
Dee

Here's my 2¢

It bugs me how you have to go to your Profile to see if you have messages. I liked it when I could tell if there was a message just by looking at the top of the screen when I was posting on the forum. Here I am posting and the people who sent me a message probably think I am blowing them off. I rarely ever go to my Profile or Home page.

It seems like a small thing but when I am on my rinky dink lap top or my phone every flaw and extra step in the interface can be cumbersome.

Or maybe this way, before when i went to the Hep C forum I could tell if I had a PM by looking at the top right. I could answer the PM go back into the forum, click on a question and read it then click on the "Back to Community" button, I could then tell my looking at the top right if I had got an answer as it would show up as inbox (1) so I knew, didn't have to wonder or click on inbox just to see..............

I guess I am not explaining this right. Before when you went to the forum of your choice you could look on the top right and if you had any PM's it would have inbox (1). You knew you had a PM... Now you have to mouse over "My Medhelp" and click on Inbox just to see, and yes it takes time for the page to load. Then you have to do a reverse just to get back to where you started.

There are times someone will notice your on line and send you a PM, if they have a question you could answer and they would see they had a PM. One could go to different forums and it would show up... Now if you wonder if you have got an answer you must go back and click on inbox to check. Maybe I am just lazy but I don't see where this is an improvement...
