Seems to have vanished now? When you click on the body icon ‘notifications’ isn’t there anymore....

I have it, and even though I've clicked "mark all as read" it's still there.

It's very annoying. Isn't this what "Threads I'm on" or "Threads I'm watching" is for? Why do we need notifications as well?

ZeroFuchsGiven · 10/11/2020 14:36

Ive only just noticed them absit half hour ago, Definitely new, I think its great.

DappledThings · 10/11/2020 15:18

Really annoying me. Where do I turn it off? I can't find any of the settings.

EndoplasmicReticulum · 10/11/2020 16:39

I find this annoying. I used to only get a little red number if someone had sent me a message, fair enough. I don't need loads because someone has posted on a thread I'm watching - I can see that by going to the thread I'm watching, funnily enough.

Dddaddy · 10/11/2020 16:40

It’s horrible

HokeyWokey · 10/11/2020 16:52

I love it. Please don't get rid of it.

Maybe give people the option to turn the notifications off though.

NoWordForFluffy · 10/11/2020 17:13

Might not be so bad if it actually took you to your bookmarked post, rather than the start of the thread!

Plantingbulbs · 10/11/2020 17:16

I would like the option to turn them off as I got excited to think I had 35 direct messages. Lockdown is tough Blush

EasilyDepleted · 10/11/2020 17:18

I want the option to switch it off, it is going to make me miss seeing PMs.

vodkaredbullgirl · 10/11/2020 17:19

Hate it

JacobReesMogadishu · 10/11/2020 17:20

Another one who wants to turn it off

WotWouldCJDo · 10/11/2020 17:33

I can't see how to turn them off.
It duplicates a function we already have.
I too thought my inbox had gone crazy.

TopCatlivedinadustbin · 10/11/2020 18:04

Definitely new, I think its great

Really?!

Thinkingg · 10/11/2020 18:07

I'd also like an option to turn it off.

MissAHannigan · 10/11/2020 18:10

I'd like mine turned off too.

Sirzy · 10/11/2020 18:10

I don’t see the point in it. I click on threads I’m on to see what has happened to the threads I’m on

SabrinaThwaite · 10/11/2020 18:17

It’s really annoying. How do I turn it off?

SpongeBobJudgeyPants · 10/11/2020 18:19

You can't turn it off apparently Hmm

Fauvist · 10/11/2020 18:43

I so want to turn these off. That little red dot is driving me crazy.

BoreOfWhabylon · 10/11/2020 18:44

Would someone mind PMing me please? Flowers
I'd like to see if that still works

SpongeBobJudgeyPants · 10/11/2020 18:49

I'll do it Bore.

BoreOfWhabylon · 10/11/2020 18:50

Thank you @NoWordForFluffy It still works Smile
