Have you restricted the forums this works on? It's working here, but it doesn't seem to work in the Soapbox.

It's only active on two forums. I'll have to mark them as such.
I'm not sure what would convince me to allow the Soapbox to have images. That's a big ask.

I'm also seeing two script errors in the console, and clicking a message reloads the entire page:
TypeError: $(...).ready(...) is not a function

Can you try a Ctrl+F5?
I've tried everything and cannot replicate this.

Whatever you did seems to have fixed it. The errors are gone, and the voting and reporting options are back.

Here the screenshot (neat feature BTW). I included a bit more of the surroundings so you have some points of reference.

It is working for me now as well. Thanks.

A little orange blob may look obvious to some people, but those of us with eyes of a certain age can hardly spot (excuse the pun) them. Can we have our new flags back please?

My eyes are anagraphically young. I still can't see a damn thing.

Really? You want to party like it's 1999?
I removed the images because
a) I couldn't stand them one moment longer
b) they are a space suck
I'm open to other ideas on marking posts as new, but not small gifs that say "new". Anything but that.
Update: Just saw this on Microsoft's site:
Sigh.
What's old is new. Next thing we know skinnyjeans and bears will be in style.
Oh, wait a minute...

The small "orange Dot" is hard to notice with using Rant or Joke icon while posting.
Not sure how it looks with other icon. It would be much better by using the "Pin" icon to denote new post.
cheers,

The new icon is fine with me, for what that's worth. 
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

I see (or don't) that the blockquote tags are now invisible? And, yes the above was generated by pressing the "Quote Selected Text" button.
User error.

Seems to be working here. What's the generated markup you're seeing in the message box?

Some idiot seems to have clicked the "Treat my content as plain text, not as HTML" box.

How about a larger orange dot next to the icon, to match the indicator in the menu?
Something like this:
Or maybe it's just a "who moved my cheese?" moment, and we'll all get used to the new "new" icon in a couple of weeks.

Sorry Chris, but this is just another example of Hutber's Law; an improvement make things worse. You remove the new flags because you think they are out of date - OK that is reasonable. But you have replaced them with something that is almost impossible to see. Why do you feel that is better?

They weren't meant to be impossible to see and I hope you understand I was truly looking to change it in a positive way.
So: what would look good, be effective, and not add too much extra space?
- have new messages in bold? (We used to do this, but we've reserved bold subjects for thread starts)
- Make the gleam bigger or brighter?
- Have the gleam be always on the far left?
- Change the icon entirely so it's brighter, bolder, yellower?
What would work?
cheers

Probably a bigger brighter blob. I'm not a graphic designer, so I don't really know what is best, but I'm sure someone on your team has some ideas. All I do know is that size is important, as is contrast. Maybe the entire message icon in a different colour?
