As long as you hit the homepage, you don't have to check the System Messages themselves ever since you'll be notified on the homepage.
I have never been to the home page when I have had a new system message, so I had never seen that other type of notification. So naturally, I assumed the System messages button above the banner was supposed to be in red and large letters. Okay, so now I see the other notification below the banner. It is indeed big and bold enough.
So even though the tree-mail button changes color when I have a new tree-mail
on any page in ATP that I visit, the System messages button does not ever change. Now that I know that this is not my only access to new system messages, it makes a little more sense, and I understand the impetus to go to the home page.
So I need to go to the home page to be notified. All this fuss I made, and it all boils down to this. I respect your grand plan for the site, Dave, even though I disagree in this one particular instance. A minor item in the scheme of things. I don't know if everyone else could follow my explanations, but I'm sure glad that you did!
