Should there be a counter when someone reports content?

I don't seem to get a counter. I receive the email but never see the counter (I do for messages and notifications though)

When I click the dropdown the new reports are there but it would help if the counter showed.

What do you mean by "counter"? Do you mean the numbered badge that shows with notifications? If not, maybe a screenshot would help.

I've fixed it, I had notifcation list off for some reason.
