They never worked like that, the tab notifications appear only for chat message

yes they not working 1.8 on new chat message

There was never a tab notification for new message or notification, tab notifications shows "New Message" only when you get the chat message from a user

Oxwall.org does not have chat

please look the pic its not point to oxwall

Sorry, did not see that you point to your website. Did you get the chat message? 

only when first login get the flash new message
but while chating  the new message flashing has stopped
so if u on another site like im here i dont know i get new message chat

the chat window should be closed in order for the notification to appear, otherwise the message is considered as read by, if you close the chat window and get new chat message then you'll see the notification

no its always worked even with chat open and i have find the problem
sorry for bother you ross i just removed custom js in admin and its working now so is one of them
i spent 3 freaking days remove all plugins clear cache in everything xcacher etc
i even remove nginx from my server


the new message flashing only stops when you click in box to start reply the message
so must be then that message is considered as read by


its now works fine in firefox bit nothing in explorer not even with chat shut
il play a bit more to see if can et work in explorer
