    I asked a link to the "recent" view that is still active - guess this request will suit as well. Commented Mar 15, 2011 at 15:27

    The "Recent activity" page is still accessible at stackoverflow.com/users/recent/(your-id). But I miss the envelope too... Commented Mar 15, 2011 at 17:23
  • @Thomas: I know it's available, but Jeff has already said that it won't stay for long (don't find the link right now). Commented Mar 15, 2011 at 17:34
  • Yup, I instinctively clicked on those numbers the first time, expecting them to go somewhere - "drill-down" is just second nature :) Commented Mar 16, 2011 at 6:24
  • It seems that the numbers for reputation are now clickable. Perhaps this is on the way of being implemented! Commented Mar 16, 2011 at 13:12
  • @Grace: Thanks for pointing that out; see my update. Commented Mar 16, 2011 at 15:40
  • I believe the "since I last looked at this page" part has been implemented too, at least for the reputation tab (note the highlight in the linked screenshot). I'm not sure if it sticks around indefinitely if you don't look at the tab for a while, though. Commented Mar 16, 2011 at 16:56
  • @Tim: In your screenshot, I think "today" is highlighted, and that's it. Commented Mar 16, 2011 at 17:03
  • @HendrikVogt Ah, yes, that's true if you access the page via the drop down time span links it seems. I went to it directly from my profile, and in that case the highlighting seemed to corresponded with the events contributing to the +15 indicator in the tab (though it's a bit hard to tell given there was only one). Now that the 15 has disappeared, if I go to the tab in this manner again, the highlighting is gone. Commented Mar 16, 2011 at 17:08
  • @Tim: You're right! When I click on "reputation" in the drop-down, then I see the top part (since last visit) highlighted; when I try again, the highlighted part is gone. That's it! Commented Mar 16, 2011 at 17:16
  • @HendrikVogt Hooray! What might be nice is if the reputation link indicated somehow that there were unviewed reputation changes (like the profile tab does), to make that behaviour a little more apparent to people. Commented Mar 16, 2011 at 17:20
  • @Tim: Right, that would be helpful indeed. I'll further update my question sometime soon. Commented Mar 16, 2011 at 17:21
  • w/r/t your last edit.. what? that's what this is meta.stackoverflow.com/users/1/… -- a list of revisions to my post by other users, is it not? Commented Mar 18, 2011 at 12:18
  • @Jeff: Ah well, thanks, my bad. I actually don't get to see your responses tab (your link sends me to your info page), but I do get to see mine. However, the revisions are somewhat lost among the other responses unless one explicitly looks at the "revisions" tab of the responses. As far as I remember, the envelope got orange not only on favourite changes but also on those revisions (or am I mistaken?) - this is what I meant with "notification" in my last edit.
