Notifications indicator not appearing?

[Liselle]

Has anyone ever noticed so far that sometimes there won't be a "new" indicator by the notifications icon, when you really do have something new?

For instance, I looked a little bit ago, and neither the conversation nor alerts icons had a "new" indicator, but when I went to my conversations page immediately after that, there was indeed a new message - and then the "new" indicator appeared, once I was on the page and didn't need it.

I'd gotten the impression there might be a slight lag of maybe a few minutes, which is fine, but this one was 45 minutes. Of course the issue isn't that my messages are so dang urgent, just that if an indicator doesn't show up in 45 minutes, maybe something's wrong with it?

I do find I need to refresh the page to get the updates blob on the browser tab, but that's different.

Maybe notifications would work differently if removed from inside the menu. (I really need to organise my to-do list instead of just adding things to it approximately 12x faster than I get any of them done.)
