That's how it works on Mod Share, but I'm not sure that's such a great idea.
For one thing, it would be a pain to implement. It would also be an issue if you just had a really popular project that got covered in comments.

We could have a menu where me click on it and our notifications pop up like on facebook. 

That might work. Or, someone could write a browser extension to do it, and that wouldn't be too hard (just a bit of AJAX?)

I could try programming it myself! I'm currently not home, but when I get home on Monday, I could try it. It can't be too hard, can it?

Well, it'd have to be in Python

Why not in JavaScript (i.e. a browser extension)?

well, currently most of the site is programmed in python, so it would have to be in python. I don't see why it couldn't be Javascript though.

I thought the site was made in PHP.
I will start the JS browser extension on Monday.

a lot of it is in python.

Oh, I didn't know that.
Anyway, the extension I make will not look as fancy as the image in the first post. It will look more like the notifications on Mod Share.

This sounds sort of the planned What's Happening? area on the front page.

Yeah, but that appears to be for what's going on for everybody, not your personal notifications.

Good luck.

Thanks, I'm getting started. I'll finish sometime soon.

Yay! Do you think (maybe in a later version) you can hide the notifications like facebook?

I've gotten started, but I just realized something:
even if I read them through AJAX, I have to isolate the notifications from the rest of the page (such as the header and footer), which is much harder than I thought.

As for the second part, that is really easy compared to the rest of the JS coding I need.

Oh, well I can only wish you good luck!

I need it. I've had no success so far. However, I need to kill time tomorrow, so I can probably get it to work with regular expressions - probably something like

/\<div id="messages"\>(.*)\<div id="hide_all_notification"\>/

I need a bit of help here...I tried using my test account to get a notification, but it didn't show up. Can someone please put a comment on one of my projects to help me out?

Sure!
