 * Hello,
 * This is a great plugin, however it would make a huge difference if there was 
   a simle counter or indicator to show when you have a new Inbound Message so you
   don’t have to check the plugin **every single time** to see if you have new entries
   or not.
 * Also will there ever be a reply feature integrated into this plugin?
 * Many thanks!

 * *****Expanded to only show if flamingo contains posts!*****
 * This may be frowned upon but this works for me.
    Copy the following to the lines
   in the following file:
 * //flamingo/admin/admin.php
 * //Line 12 – add
    /////Luxlucid /////////// Flamingo_Inbound_Message::find( array(‘
   post_status’ => ‘any’,) ); $posts_in_inbox = Flamingo_Inbound_Message::$found_items;
   $notification_bubble =”; if (!empty($posts_in_inbox)){ $notification_bubble =“
   <span class=’awaiting-mod’>” . $posts_in_inbox . “</span>”; } /////////////////////////
 * //Line 15 – replace
    ///////////////////////// /////Luxlucid /////////// // __(‘
   Flamingo’, ‘flamingo’ ), __( ‘Flamingo’ . $notification_bubble, ‘flamingo’ ),/////////////////////////
 * As always changing any code in a plug-in will mean that when it is update the
   code will be overwritten. The best solution would be if the original author could
   add the function officially.
