Re: rMail notification message
Right. As I said above, I did (finally) notice that there's a new pastel colored box among the other pastel boxes. Since I've pretty much learned to ignore the pastel boxes except when I specifically have a need for them, I didn't notice it.
In the main screen, I literally never use those, so I don't notice that a new one appeared. Inside games, I do use them occasionally, but when I have a specific task in mind like going to the dice roller. Otherwise, again, I ignore them. In forums, I use them even less; only to 'Post a New Topic' which is very rare. This well-trained ignoring of the pastel boxes is what caused me (and will in the future cause me) to miss that I have rMail waiting.
When I posted message #9, above, it was because I was specifically expecting some rMail, and STILL I missed it at first. I had looked at the rMail link in the top menu bar, expecting it to be bolded and/or colored.
