To scroll to New Messages

A New Messages announcement is displayed when there are multiple messages or questions coming in to the broadcast. The new mesagaes indicator is useful for when you are replying to a message to let you know additional messages are in the queue. This provides an improved methodology for message display and a better flow to reply to users.  The incoming messages do not come into view in the scrolling screen automatically and by clicking on the New Messages text you will be taken to the last incoming message.
