Continuing tweaking of the board, we added a function where a red bullet should appear on the top when you have a new Private Message, next to the text "You have X new messages." This should make it easier to spot. Thanks to the person who made that suggestion. Some things we can implement fairly easy; others not so easy.
Also note that readers may subscribe to our newsletters at the top or bottom of pages. We implemented a new newsletter system which should make it easier to subscribe and unsubscribe.
