No more red dot on scroll bar in Visual Studio 2012

At Visual Studio 2010, there will be a red dot(s) on scroll bar indicated where your code has errors. Also a other color dots for other message etc.

But after installed Visual Studio 2012, I cannot see this feature anywhere, tried toolbar-options, nowhere to found.

Am I miss something? Or Microsoft just removed this feature.

{EDIT}

Sample of Visual Studio 2010 enter image description here

And Visual Studio 2012, where these nice little dot candy go? enter image description here

The dots you see on the scrollbar are definitely a feature of the "Productivity Power Tools" Extensions "Enhanced Scrollbar".

There are 3 Modes to enhance the Scrollbar, your Screenshot displays the first (default) one.

Unfortunately, there seems to be no equivalent for VS2012. Or does anyone know of an extension that improves the scrollbar like that?

Is it possible you were using the jetbrains resharper tool? That provides the feature you describe, but I don't recall ever seeing it in visual studio
