Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted June 30, 201113 yr I don't know if this is intentional or if it even happens to anybody else, but whenever I have new notifications showing on the notifications icon at the top and I click to view the list of them, they're all bold meaning that they haven't been read. That's fine so far. When I click to view one of those notifications on the list, it takes me to the topic of the notification I clicked. That's fine too. However, when I go back to view the notification list again, all of the remaining notifications (that I have not viewed yet) are not bold anymore. I would understand if those that are not bold anymore are from the same topic I just visited, but many of them are from topics I haven't clicked to view yet. Shouldn't all the notifications I haven't viewed yet stay bold until I click to view them? Anybody else have this happen to them?
July 26, 201113 yr I have notifications turned off so I can't help. I would recommend reporting it here: http://community.inv...-24-ipboard-3x/ You are likely to get a faster reply there.
July 26, 201113 yr I suspect bold is meant to indicate that you haven't seen the notification, not that you haven't gone to read the content. So once you open that notification list, everything should become not-bold.
July 26, 201113 yr Correct. Notifications are considered 'read' when you open the popup to view the list.
July 26, 201113 yr Author Understood, but it would make more sense to keep those that haven't actually been clicked and read in bold so that we'd know to come back later and click and read them.
July 27, 201113 yr Author Would this not make "Mark as read" redundant in the notifications screen then? I'm talking about the notification drop-down list when we click the icon, not the actual notification page.
July 27, 201113 yr Understood, but it would make more sense to keep those that haven't actually been clicked and read in bold so that we'd know to come back later and click and read them. I agree, makes better sense to keep the one's we haven't clicked and read in bold so we'd know that we haven't read those yet.
April 16, 201212 yr i've filed this as a bug and have been dismissed like a piece of garbage. (I'm getting used to it, no offense taken.) This is "working as intended". I beg to difer. And I suggested a fix. http://community.invisionpower.com/tracker/issue-36921-all-notifications-marked-read-on-simple-click/ Once I test this a bit I'll write an "howto".
April 16, 201212 yr yeah, and I offer my own suggested fix as well: good that we are all offering ideas for the notifications systems
