There is a notification in the notifications menu on the admin bar and via email.
Yes Andy but it is not visible when members first login (as in facebook).Buddypress you have to put mouse over my Account, Notifications tabs, and then search for new mail and notification, friends request etc. It would be great if new mail, friends request etc popped up, stood out in header bar, or maybe in the sidepanel etc.
Memebers would not otherwise be aware they had mail, or friends request..
Even if you have unread messages, your notifications might be zero. Is that because you’ve visited your profile screen since receiving the mail?
My vote would be for the notification to remain in the admin bar until after you’ve actually clicked on the message – or at least visited the messages screen.
I did a fresh install of Buddypress, and mail is now showing in header bar. Now that sounds good, mail to remain until it is read. It gets my vote also.
