You'll get used to anything in time, and so I did with this new format.
I'll miss that bright red 'You've got 1 new message' icon though.
To punctuate the credibility of what you say even more, I got a tad excited just seeing that red text in your post. I guess I missed it more than I thought. The little orange envelope just isn't the same.
OT: I have nothing against the new layout. I am now getting used to it. You will too.
EDIT: Wow, 5000 posts. Huzzah!!
