As I entered the forum this morning, I saw a Notification by my Forum Name. One click and it took me to updates on a thread I follow. Could this notification appear next to my username in the Launcher? The Notification also suggested I enable browser-level notifications, but that's not an option for me, but having that notification instead pushed to HCLauncher would be the perfect information at the right time and place.
Perhaps the same two buttons with the same two icons as it has now, in the same location relative to the username? I guess, if there were a dropbox for multiple accounts, it would just update to whichever one is currently active.
