4. Just to be clear on that

There are three types of notifications that the My Stuff button will glow for. These are:

1) New posts from your Subscriptions
2) New replies to you
3) New DU Mail messages in your inbox

The new options in Account Settings do indeed allow you to turn those notifications off individually. But to be clear, that's so you aren't interrupted by the My Stuff button glowing for a notification you're not bothered about receiving. All it does is prevent the My Stuff button from glowing for that notification.

If you get a notification for something that you've turned off, the My Stuff button will not glow -- but the appropriate button inside the My Stuff menu will still show as solid yellow, just so you're aware that there's something new there.

Hypothetical situation: you have Subscriptions notifications turned off, and Replies and Mail notifications turned on.

If you receive a new reply or a new mail message, the My Stuff button will glow. Clicking the My Stuff button should then show you either the Posts or Inbox button (or both) also glowing.

If you receive a new Subscription, the My Stuff button will NOT glow. But if you happen to click the My Stuff button after receiving a new Subscription, the Subscriptions button will be displayed as solid yellow.

(Also to be clear, we are still troubleshooting this so it might not work quite right 100% of the time at the moment.)
