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?
- Hello
I think the bigger problem is the long delay of notifications - it is faster
use the email to click and reply than wait for the notification on the MTC website
Please share your opinion on such an important matter.I don't have any opinion about notificator since don't use it. Even if it reacts immediately, I'd prefer unread posts and emails. Notifications are only about discussions I directly involved, but I prefer to check everything. One community practically on daily basis, few others on weekly basis.
- 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.
- I wish I could disable that counter. It's one of my long-time pain points with the tech community.
