New Global Connect Messages

What am I missing? It appears to me that in order to read all the messages (which I am required to do) I have to open 3 different areas - FEATURES, HEADLINES & ALERTS. Once inside each one then I can read messages that pertain to that specific area.
In the old Global all the messages were right there on the home page. If you saw My Messages (0 new) you instantly knew there was nothing to read. How is this better?
Also have any of you noticed that when you clear your browser history that the messages change color back to the 'unread' status? This goes back to the old GM Dealerworld problem. What's old is new again.
