Notifications Issues.
-
For a long while now, if I have notifications, the red number shows up, but the notifications never load; it just spins and spins and spins. I kludged a workaround once I realised that the dropdown menu lets you see all your notifications, not just the most recent, but I am stupid and it took me until a couple of weeks ago to figure that out. Yay me, I wound up missing a few personal messages I got sent because of the inability to read a drop down menu.
Anyway, right now I have a pretty, red, number one showing on my bell, that also isn't clearing, since I read the notification using the 'show all' option.

And marking all notifications as read does nothing to clear the indicator.

Have you tried clearing cookies and such or doing a hard reset with Ctrl+F5? Something might be not playing nicely between the saved stuff and the current stuff.
-
Clearing cookies, no. I'll try the hard reset, though now the pretty red box is all gone.
-
There. New red boxes.
-
Hard reset resulted in more spinning, no loading.

I believe it's part of the forum's more general shitfuckery with... whatever technical shit is going on with it behind the scenes that makes it break.

I also thought that perhaps the various adblockers and do-not-track-mes that I have on my laptop were the source, but nah. It also happens on the ole Pixel 5 phone.
It's not so bad now that I've realised I can just drop down to 'show all notifications', so at least that way I can still see messages.
I'm grateful that people looked into it, though. Thank you, MUSB admins.
