Is there a place/way that I can.....

See if I have messages without having to check every 5 minutes? Like a "you have mail" smiley next to my name? Or is there already something like that I am missing? I think that would be great, as I really like to get messages, but hate to leave the posts I'm reading and back-button it repeatedly. Thanks a bunch! Steph

Look up under the blue header where it says "Logged in as", if you have messages it will tell you.

If you look on the right side of the screen, you will see:
Logged in as xoxoxoxox
Last visit: xoxoxoxox
You have new messages

There will be this message in blue whenever you have new messages.
