"There are new messages for you." Where?

This format FUCKING SUCKS ADMIT IT.

Christ, where am I supposed to look in this pile of shit for the "new messages for you"? I have a fucking talk page for "new messages for me". I also have a watchlist I use. This structure needs to DIE a quick death. Because every time I get the "There are new messages for you." I will come here and say this, since I can't find those delightful "new messages" that are supposedly "for me"

KILL THIS NOW.

And I think the new messages page is a great idea, I can see all the new replies to threads I'm following in one place, conveniently highlighted, instead of having to go through Recent Changes (or my watchlist) and spot the pages I'm interested in that have new messages. Going through new replies diff-by-diff is impractical because it is slow, and if I instead look at the whole thread it is hard to find the new comments, especially the ones that go off on a tangent and have been inserted in the middle of a discussion.

The only complaint I have is with the phrasing, I don't think messages is the right word. Maybe replies?

Then click "mark all as read" and it will remove them without you having to bother yourself. Have you not noticed that it highlights the new replies with a box around them? Something that isn't done with new posts anywhere else unless you happen to like trawling through diffs or are lucky enough to catch it on recent changes.

And again, I'm seeing nothing other than "it's crap" and a lot of capital letters.

Seriously, am I the only person that has figured out how to use this without any hand holding? It's not difficult.

" Have you not noticed that it highlights the new replies with a box around them? "

That's the odd part. This conversation came up in my "New Messages" list, but there's nothing highlighted as new. I expanded all the conversations, but there's nothing there.

And the condescending "am I the only person that has figured out how to use this without any hand holding?" is noted and not appreciated.

I had the same thing. It might be because I grabbed the part of this conversation that had the new message and dragged it to another thread.

When people complain they can't figure something out when I did pretty quickly, I have a right to be condescending. Either that or I have Sylar's intuitive aptitude.

But since being a dick is apparently the only way to get any recognition on RationalWiki, I decided to start properly.

"getting attention" =! "taken seriously", just sayin'.

I'll assume that's "=/=" :) I apologise for the condescension and being a prick. I should remark you're not one of the users that deserves it.

Then I shall be officially corrected and mollified.

You know, you have a serious superiority complex, and it asserts itself depressingly frequently. Pity, since you're otherwise intelligent and pleasant.

I've noticed it getting worse too. I will try to reign it in as I'm not a fan of myself being a dick.
