There's an option in Community Builder that will allow you to see if you have any new messages without having to check your messages all the time.
Do the following to get this option in your CB Login Module:
- Go to modules
- Choose the CB Login Module
- Scroll down to where it says "Private Messages Notification" and choose "Show only if messages" from the drop down menu.
- Save your changes
That's all. Next time you have a new message, you will see a notification in the Login Module. You can also set it to show you notifications when there are "Pending Connections"
