Notifications
Notifications collects the replies, likes, mentions, follows, and messages addressed to you, so you see a response to something you wrote without checking every post.
A question you asked in a post may be answered hours later; a thread may pick up after you had forgotten it; someone may mention you or start following you. Notifications gathers all of it in one list: each item tells you what happened and leads to the post, thread, or member concerned. A new private message appears here too, as an alert; the conversation itself is read on Messages. You can allow the browser to show a notification when a new item arrives, so you need not keep the site open.
