New PM system display

by JaneDoe July 28th 2020, 8:33 pm

The new system shows that under our usernames in the top right it will display "you have x amount of new messages". On this support forum and my own forums this does not happen. The message stays as "My private messages". Is this correct? or should it be different now? I have not modified any of my PM templates, so do not need to add anything to them.

I believe the message will only change if you have new messages or unread messages.

.
I sent myself a Private message on all of these forums and didn't read them including this support forum. The message did not change. Just stays as "My private messages".

Edited to Add: Both my forums are phpbb2

You are right

Thanks for confirming @skouliki . So it isn't just me experiencing/seeing this. On my forum I don't have a PM button in the navigation bar, so it would have been a nice feature for it to show "unread messages" in the users drop down bar.
