I've noticed that if you do not go and read your waiting messages as soon as you login that the flashing envelope vanishes.

I have viewed a few forum posts and now my flashing icon is not there, but if I goto my inbox it still shows a new message.

I notice that, using Firefox 2.0, the flashing indicator stops flashing and it looks like it's not there. However, it's still there as I can tell there's more space between My Stuff and User List than normally. Seems to be some type of caching issue with Firefox or something because a View Image + hard refresh brings it back. Perhaps the same thing is happening w/ you?

Yes I noticed the space also, but it doesnt do that with 6.5.x so its something different in 7.x that is causing it.

I noticed this the other day, it was like the flashy stopped being animated or smething, it was really odd; I just blaimed it on my eyes being stressed lately (they've been hurting for a while and my vision has been shot lately)

I get that too using IE7. It only happens when the page is parked for a certain amount of time. I figured the animation timed out after a certain amount of time. No hard refresh needed to bring it back though. I know the feeling, feel like my eyes are being held open by pins

Interesting feeling isn't it lol...

As for my envornment, I'm on Windows XP Pro SP2 with FireFox 2.0, but it occours randomly, i'm never idle when I'm here so that's the odd thing lol

The feeling is starting to grow on me I am also on xp pro SP2 but using IE7

I'm on Vista with Firefox 2 and IE7

I have this problem too, most of the time after a while of idling my laptop.
Isn't there a fix? I have this problem since the upgrade to 7.5

Same problem here. Never seen it before, but since the upgrade to 7.5 I am sometimes missing the indicator although new PM's are waiting to be read.
