Undecided Number of notifications in <title>

I suggest to write the number of notification you have also in the <title> of the page, so if for instance I have 2 notifications (either PMs or alerts) I would like my tab to be called "(2) Sinisterly" and not as currently is just "Sinisterly".

I support your idea. I would imagine a function displaying your notification count to the tab wouldn't be very difficult to implement, and it would also add something useful to the site.

Added to Undecided. It's definitely possible, but I'm not sure if I like the aesthetic of having a number at the beginning of our title.

I understand your suggestion, but given notifications are easily accessed In the toolbar, I'm not sure how you'd benefit If they're also displayed In the tab.

If on your browser you have multiple tabs open and one of this is Sinister.ly and the notification of the forum are dynamically displayed on <title> also, you'll immediately notice the notification even if you're working on another tab of your browser.

Would It be displayed without refreshing/reloading the browser tab?

AJAX could do this.

If notifications are displayed as they happen (In real time) without the need to refresh the tab, then I support your suggestion.

Otherwise, It serves the same purpose as our current system.

If what I meant from the very beginning, otherwise my suggestion would be useless.
Did I made some mistake writing in English?

All good.

I just wanted to clarify your suggestion.
