Step-by-Step

 * Another user updates your Message Wall on any community.
 * There is a new post on a Forum thread that you are following, on any community
 * There is a highlighted Forum thread on the community you are currently viewing

 * Your talk page on any community is edited.
 * An administrator updates the Community Corner of the community you are currently viewing.
 * You receive an achievement badge on the community you are currently viewing.
