>>> [!note] Migrated issue <!-- Drupal.org comment --> <!-- Migrated from issue #1883820. --> Reported by: [naught101](https://www.drupal.org/user/44216) >>> <p>Stackexchange, facebook, and a number of other big sites have a very useful feature where they show new notifications in a small but conspicuous red icon at the top left of the site:<br> <img src="https://drupal.org/files/red-dot-facebook.png" alt="red-dot-facebook.png"><br> <img src="https://drupal.org/files/global-inbox-notify.png" alt="global-inbox-notify.png"></p> <p>I would find something similar for posts drupal.org very useful:<br> <img src="https://drupal.org/files/red-dot.png" alt="red-dot.png"><br> I would propose that the number shown is the <em>number of posts with new replies since the last time I visited my dashboard or tracker</em>. The dot should probably link to the "Your posts" page, just in case the widget isn't enabled on my tracker.</p> <p>Note: on facebook and stackexchange, the dot actually has a drop-down with links to the posts themselves. I think this is unnecessary, at least in the short term, and a simple notification is enough.</p>
