Remember to check your messages

[Origisaurus]

There is no indication when you get new message(s).

[The Gorn]

The bar of menu items starting with HOME across the top part of the page has an item named MY MESSAGES. It will be suffixed with a message count like (1) if you have messages.

You don't have to check it each time you log in. You can just look at it without clicking it. If there is no (digits) you have no messages.
