Notification system is broken beyond belief.

IDK if you can fix this or not. But the notification system on this website never works properly. It keeps saying I have notifications even though I don't. There's no way to see what notifications you've read and which ones you haven't. So I go back to read other notifications only to find out that I've already read them, and I can't see all of my notifications without going to an entirely new page -_-

I'll agree the notifications thing is a nice little addition to this website, but it's so broken that I can barely use it.

There should be a button to the side of notifications that you can click to remove them.

It's kind of broken though. I have a notification myself that I can't seem to get rid of.

EDIT: actually no i'm retarded and didn't remove an old notification

I really don't think that there's any issues with it. It seems that what you're saying is that it's not "broken beyond belief", but that you just don't like the layout. I don't think it's that much of an issue to go to another page and you can easily delete them there. The ones you're saying you don't have are probably just old ones you forgot about at some point.

There is. But it makes me wonder if there's a notification I didn't read or not after I do that.

I'm just saying there should be a way to tell which notifications are unread. Maybe make unread notifications a different color or something.

There isn't anything we can do about that. Only ProphpBB can.

Okay. I hope ProphpBB updates it.

This forum uses phpBB. Notifications are marked as read when you click on them to see the thread/message or click the checkmark button.

The problem is that I can't tell which notifications are read or unread.

Hover over them. If there's a checkmark button, it means they're unread. Click the button to mark them as read.
