The average user probably does want to know when he gets a friend request. Your perspective for this feature request seems to be solely based on what you want, without considering all other users. And no, it’s not a simple flip of the switch for a web team, it would involve testing on all the environments and waiting for the next website release.
The followers update will happen soon enough. When it does, you won’t need that plugin.
Probably on a smaller screen, small enough that the bar on the left is minimized and has to be opened manually.
Also I agree with merely, friend requests used to be a big deal to me before I started accepting all of them.
[quote] Ok then merely, I’ll add a fourth idea to make it good for everyone:
D) toggle option in profile settings
that way no testing even has to be done, right? [/quote]
We have to test every change we make to the website to ensure that it doesn’t break anything (the only exception are pure text changes). We do this three times, once on each test environment. Adding a setting would require even more testing to ensure that it works when it’s enabled/disabled.
I’m not saying that it’s a bad idea, it might be a useful improvement to be able to filter what counts as a notification. However, I just wanted to give you an idea of how the release process works. Even a naive tiny change can takes hours when you count all the hours spent testing.
I don’t see one because I have a big monitor, so I’m fine, but I know how you feel when I had my smaller screen, XD. Change you screen resolution to a big enough size and it’ll disappear because the menu bar will always be open.
I keep the browser around 1600 pixels wide - freakin huge, and it still collapses. Resolution isn’t the problem here. It’s the notification that is meant to catch the eye, that is catching it at the wrong moment (no messages, only friend requests)
To further add onto that, there are two notificationy things. The red dot is there when the site nav is collapsed, but then there’s the numbers next to messages and friend requests. When expanding the browser to a whopping 1900 pixels wide to expand the site nav automatically (a separate issue that has been reported), that friend request number is equally lame
In the meantime, I’ll keep a tab open with the m.roblox.com mobile site, I just found out that it’s more convenient for responding to messages

I’m not the type to accept every single friend request (because that defeats the purpose of having account privacy settings set to friends-only; and because it’s annoying).
The red dot is useless for me because I also don’t decline my friend requests. This feature would allow me to actually make use of that red dot.
red dot in setting please, that way people can have it turn on for different things, although I think it’s a good idea to have it default on because some people are excited about FRs, but many of us devs+famous people could care less about them, but we get annoyed by constantly checking if we got a message, or a FR, and it ending up being a FR
