When did you start to see this problem? I haven't seen the problem here. Could you send me a message and then I can provide another datapoint? Let me know in this thread that you have sent it so I can then check the display. It might help troubleshoot if you describe your environment too: what browser, what version, maybe what OS.
I first noticed it last week. FG is linked to an email account I don't check that often so I didn't realize I had some messages for a couple of days since the counter stayed at 0. Whatever the problem was it seems to be working now since the two messages I received since starting this thread did tick the counter up to 2.
