When I receive a new message I see that I have a new message and some unread....

"When I receive a new message" being the key phrase ... that's not the slightest bit helpful (at-a-glance) for us forgetful old farts that want to know whats up (at-a-glance) without having to remember if we were assailed with a new message prompt in the recent past.

Doesn't the 'new message' indicator stay until the message is read?

Well... That's kinda my point ... I Don't Remember. ;)
Too many different forums, with too many different layouts ... So I'd be nice if it just said x of y ...at-a-glance.

There is no difference in the number even after reading the PM. That is the point. All Stoic Joker (my comrade in myopia) and I are seeing at the top is the format...

I have looked over the options for layout, but have not discerned anything useful.
Are we missing something?

or something like that. Sometimes I will hit the cancel button on a new PM and then forget about it, only to find it days later.

Ok i remember now.. the Unread message count (if there are any) *is* shown up top, but it's above, on the very top where it says Greetings USERNAME.
Check it out next time you have a new message. It's useful up there because it stays visible even if you have that top area collapsed.
