I know what I did 6966 days ago, and did I subscribe?, was I .... oh .... Notification Bell I-'cone'.

But if I do Mark(Mark Who?) All Read it clears it, 2 minutes later Mark(z) are back. Is Zuk doing it, again?

All I see is the most recent 25 notifications, with the ones at the top only the most recent. Is that your list?

....
<5931 days ago> commented in a thread you follow...

I did 5931 days ago, I also just marked them all READ. All went normal, and then...

3-4 clicks later around the site, let along 24 hours later, that RED number is up to 29. Every day, how many times did I read that thread 5931 days ago?

...for god sake 5931 days ago Sgt_Kickaxe was not even a member yet - all though I beat the score of followers, I got 2 Sgt_Kickaxe got one.

No pun intended.

i find the notifications there to be unreliable so i don't depend on the presence or absence of red flags.
i know - not helpful if you are OCD-ish...

..OCD-ish...

...Before the Viking ship reached Norway, all Vikings were "OUT".. The Dog leaped ashore... and so the SAGA Goes...

Not really, top are what I started/someone commented/ and such, then OCD-ish kicks in.

There are a few settings that may be able to help sort those oulde notifications. Try to see if you might have accidentally subscribed to one (or more) of the forums: [webmasterworld.com...]

If you might have dropped a flag on a thread you found useful, to refer to it again - you can view and manage the flags from this page: [webmasterworld.com...]

I found it helps to mark them as read. The notifications rely on your settings cookies as far as I know. Mine do not stay red after I've looked at them.

NARA

Mark all as read supposed to Mark them all as read, since no one reply to those messages in 6000+ days they should not be popping up as unread or so, see what I mean here?

Jookies or not.... maybe bring back Custom Style Sheet, old school for OCD-sh People? --- ;)

It might be just Messaging not put the way I OCD about, but then last post in /Databases was in? even if I mark'em All as Read....

The way to address the issue is to NOT use/view notifications? :)

All this section does is show activity on the site. Most days I just VIEW the CURRENT activity on site by reading the most recent section.

[webmasterworld.com...]

On the other hand, Notifications DOES remind me of *way* earlier posts that have picked up "reactions" or "comments" long after the fact and I can then investigate, if desired, what that new content might be.

Aside: The "oldest" I see in Notifications is 23 days back. If you are seeing 6000 then perhaps you might delete the WW cookie and start over.

Second thought: This notification area is NOT all that important, and might be a "feature" not required by rank and file.

However, if it is KEPT, perhaps something might be done to allow the USER to DELETE past notifications and keep only those most recent?

I am not talking about "View All Notifications" SCREEN, all though that link could be turned into a 100% width button in the drop-down.

<a href="#" class="btn btn-primary btn-full-width">View All Notifications</a>

But a Notifications drop-down in the top right corner and OCD-sh behavior assigned to glyphicon-bell:

<span style="font-size: 19px" class="glyphicon glyphicon-bell"></span>

We're talking about the same thing... the "bell". What I like about it is that it reveals WHO is reacting/commenting with my posts/threads. Kind of useful in that regard.

I guess OCD is in the eye of the beholder.
