Bring back visible message notifications on Mobile

I'll start off by saying I really like the new slide out menu on the mobile UI. It had some bugs early but you jumped right on those, which was much appreciated.

However, one change (that I assume was intentional and not a bug) was that you can't see if their are new League/Community Forum messages, Private Messages, or Trades until you open the menu. I much preferred the notice near the top of whatever screen you were on as that is closer to the Desktop experience.

My 2 cents.

That's odd, they should still be there. (I do intend to remove them but not before putting an indicator on the menu button). What device/browser are you using?

Device is Motorola Moto G (3rd Gen) using Android 6.0.

I've recently switched browsers to Adblock Browser (https://adblockbrowser.org/). I checked on Chrome and, you're right, the notices are still there.

Adblock Browser may be too obscure to warrant support, but it's based on Firefox/Mozilla so it would probably be good to know if it occurs on that browser. I don't have time right now, but later tonight I can download FF to my phone and check if no one has confirmed before then.

If it helps, I'm also on Android mobile Chrome and the notification banners are still there.

JDB, I confirmed that this works on both Chrome and Firefox on my phone. It must just be something with Adblock Browser. Maybe the ad blocking code is interfering with the notice or something.

Either way, unless Adblock Browser suddenly jumps up in market share, I wouldn't worry about it. Going forward I'll try to check things in other browsers before I bring up issues like this.

I'm probably not going to do anything to support Adblock Browser since, well, most of the site is supported by ads :-)

Totally understandable. For what it's worth, I always keep a balance of credits so my ad blocking isn't an issue on this site.
