Thread:Feedback/New messages link

The "new messages" link in the personal tools (between "my watchlist" and "my contributions") is not a good idea, in my opinion.


 * 1) The link is there whether or not I actually have new messages, so that's confusing.  It tricked me to click on it :(
 * 2) Adding this makes there be just too many links in the personal tools. (along with "Try Beta")

Instead, can something be done to integrate "new messages" with the "my talk" link? Perhaps make it change colors, give it a background when you have new messages, make it bold, or add some indicator icon when one has new messages. I think WikiTravel has an indicator icon for new messages. Aude (talk &bull; contribs) 07:03, 19 November 2009 (UTC)


 * PS - a general bug for monobook and vector skins... why do we keep repeating the word "my" in the personal links. It's very repetitive and annoying.  I would have "my talk" and then omit "my" for the rest of the links. Aude (talk &bull; contribs) 07:03, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
