STEEMIT notifications playing HIDE & SEEK

I am a 2 week old steemian.

All of a sudden the RED notification that came up over the STEEMIT user photo, on the COMMENTS & REPLIES section, as well as the popup notifications doesn't work anymore.

I am quite lost because I don't know whether new feeds have come through or whether replies have been made.

Does anyone know what is going on?

Hope you can help @homeartpictures @kitcat @daveks @chrissysworld @herzmeister @achim86 @madlenfox @samuel-earp-art
