Its annoy need to atualizate the tori page,and we have to be playing,so I sugesting it
A Notification button.that shows how much notifications unread you have

Notifications showed in the yellow number,if you click it will show you what notifications you got/have.

After clicking in this,will show a mini window showing you 4/5 most recents notifications,exactly(or not) like in forum

If you click in some of the notifications you will be redirectioned to forum page of the notification,obviously you need to be logged first...No Hiperlinks in the notification button,only in the window of it.
