Don't bury "Request to Join" NH in chat boxes

We aren't a super-chatty NH. However, sometimes with arranging trades, asking for help reviving bushes, etc., chat can really build up. We've noticed that we'll get a request to join and by the time a leader or co-leader gets back onto the game, the request is buried and can no longer be seen. Can the requests to join a NH be on the tab behind the chats? (By the invitations and messages area where I've never gotten anything)? If they were there, with a little flag that you have something to read or respond to, it would be VERY helpful.
