I really liked that inbox on the Stack Exchange icon. Since there are some bugs with the envelope, as described here, here, here and maybe on more places, I think it would be nice to change it a bit.
There could be an arrow pointing down, the same as in this image:
It could open a window just like the Stack Exchange icon and have some tabs, like:
- responses
- favorites
- reputation
And a link somewhere that would lead to /users/recent/
, where you can see everything.
- summary
- reputation
- responses
- favorites
- revisions
- badges
Perhaps the envelope icon could change to fit. The icon would continue redirecting to /users/recent/
and the down arrow would open that nice window. The inbox would display only changes from the current site and indicate how many new things are out there. Just like the global inbox.
Well, it's just a thought. I think changing it "completely" would automatically fix the bugs and give a nice feature.
