Notifications counter
Usually I don't care about it, prefer to check unread posts (another headache). Just found it countdown now
It was 99+, next 97, next 94, etc. What actually it shows?
I think it shows unread replies to posts/articles that you commented on, also likes. At least this is what i get in there. I don't like that it is slow to refresh. Even if you check notifications and continue browsing it still shows same number for a while. So maybe why you saw it as a "countdown". You just read some unread reply, which was on this list and after some time it got subtracted from the total.
I didn't dig too deep, but my impression counter value doesn't depend on read I some posts after they were counted in notifications, or not. My guess was after 99 something wrong happens with arithmetic.
