I've just noticed a little bell on my Inbox tab.

I swear it wasn't there before, or am I just going doolally? I thought perhaps, it was a new facility to show I had a PM, as we previously got a little red dot on the tab, but sadly, I didn't have one. sad.

Can anyone enlighten me, please?

Anyway, I have asked HQ to enlighten us.

I could recite it in my sleep.

Lucca that really is not fair- why should it work for you and not for me? I demand that it works for me. So there.

I've developed a little bell too. I thought it meant that I'd got a pm from someone but sadly, I hadn't.

Chewbacca Thu 17-Sept-20 22:06:52

^ the tech team haven't quite completed the task^

Another?

crazyH Thu 17-Sept-20 22:07:01

Yes I've got a bell ?

Marydoll Thu 17-Sept-20 22:07:14

Charleygirl, it's blatant favouritism on HQs part!
It's probably a punishment for some past misdemeanour.?

Lucca Thu 17-Sept-20 22:08:20

I just posted a comment and it’s vanished. I was just telling charleygirl you’ve either got it or you haven’t ?

Marydoll Thu 17-Sept-20 22:10:12

And you certainly have it, Lucca, while the rest of us obviously haven't! ?

I’ve got a bell but no messages. This thread reminds me of Chuck Berry’s My Dingaling. grin

Marydoll I have forgotten the expression but the one that comes to mind is that the apple does not have to fall far.

I cannot type with a cat half lying on me so I am going to bed.

Lucca Thu 17-Sept-20 22:13:57

Um.... just got another bell and another PM. I must be teachers pet.
There is a first time for everything I guess.

Lucca Thu 17-Sept-20 22:15:34

“Apple don’t fall far from the tree” I love that expression but take it to mean someone who does something in the same way as their parent.

Marydoll Thu 17-Sept-20 22:20:38

Lucca, thanks for ringing my bell, but I'm so disappointed, the bell remained exactly the same. I expected it to at least light up!! ?

Lucca Thu 17-Sept-20 22:21:43

You’ll be wanting sparkly lights and balloons next

I have a bell, no message. The “show 100 messages” says :return to forum”.

Hello! HQ here - we've posted here but clearly a few wrinkles to iron out still blush so thank you for the feedback. We'll look into it in the morning if that's ok. Good night all moon

Luckygirl Thu 17-Sept-20 22:47:49

I'm feeling deprived - I do not have a little bell! sad

Chewbacca Thu 17-Sept-20 22:55:15

I wanted a bell with a tinkly ring sound to it. Or, alternatively, a huge BONG! like Big Ben. Any chance?

Doodle Thu 17-Sept-20 23:15:59

Trust you to want a huge BONG Chewy. Get back to the Argy. Thor is waiting to give you one ?

Marydoll Thu 17-Sept-20 23:25:48

Doodle, behave, Miss MaryDoll is not amused! ☹️
Detention for you.

Chewbacca Thu 17-Sept-20 23:38:32

That made me howl with laughter Doodle! grin grin.... you know me so well!

Charleygirl5 Fri 18-Sept-20 07:52:36

Luckygirl and others- you will just have to accept that there are the haves and the have nots and you know which bracket you are in. Marydoll myself and many others are in the top bracket- just accept it.

Doodle I think Marydoll will expel you and quite right too. I am afraid the Argy is for the likes of yourself and a few others. Some of us have standards.

BlueBelle Fri 18-Sept-20 08:19:02

Luckygirl me too
This is a Dr Suess and his story of the Sneetchers those that have and those that don’t

Doodle

Trust you to want a huge BONG Chewy. Get back to the Argy. Thor is waiting to give you one ?

That’s a BANG not a BONG btw?

I do have the little bell, it appeared yesterday, and there were two messages.....it is still there but there are no messages unread.Teething probs by GNHQ. The bell should only appear when there are unread messages as a reminder to you.
