In this account, the flapping bird doesn't appear unless I either log out and log back in or go into messages. In our couple's account, the same thing happens, but intermittently there's no counter even if one of those things happens and we do have messages. For me, it started a couple of weeks ago.
Bye Bye Birdie
I too have seen this issue!
We can't see the responses so far in here, but it's been working fine for us.
We're still receiving the flapping wings.
Nope had 3 this am.. and yesterday.
The bird isn't appearing anymore. There is no longer any indication that there are new messages. Anyone else having this problem? It's been like this a few days now.
