Notifications indicated, but no actual notifications

Delzhand

This started happening maybe within the past week or 2. It happens on mobile and desktop both - there will be a flag indicating unread notifications, but when I click on the icon, there's a popup saying there aren't any.

Probably related. The last week or so, every time I receive a PM I also get notified of a new @ mention. And/or it's refreshing the last mention I got from Aug 29th?

I had email notifications for posts in threads I started, but not on-site notifications. I turned off the email ones and the problem went away so I assume it's something to do with which type of notifications you're configured for.

I have never turned on email notifications...

i am also getting a new notification icon whenever i get a new PM, but there isn't a new notification, it just shows whatever my most recent one is

i also don't have any email notifications enabled

(on mobile, up to date Safari)

this morning i had the opposite, where receiving an @ notification also displayed a PM notification but i do not have a new PM

up until now i haven't seen that happen when the true notification is from an @

e: i am mistaken. apparently another unhinged PM was sent out this morning and has been removed by a mod. i still got the notification even though i no longer have the PM in my inbox

I had a notification of a new message as well as a @, but both were from yesterday and I had already viewed them. Almost like something got reset?

my guess would be you were probably included in the PM that got deleted

So is this why I have a bunch of PM notifications, including one from a mod, from 4/5am this morning but no actual messages? I was very worried for a minute!

Oh no, for you actually you're being banned. Sorry.

Anyway to clear the phantom dm? Logging out and back in didn't work

Carpy

Gonna bump this since I still have a phantom dm notification and can't seem to clear it

Lucedes

it's here forever now

we're just going to live with phantom notifications forever

Ringo

Have you received subsequent notifications? A new set might clear the old ones

I had this happen and the way I cleared it was opening up my most recent PMs and returning to the main forum page

Shit, this worked. I'd tried going into my dms but I guess I never actually opened a message. Much appreciated

Tagging @Lucedes in case they're still having the issue

Resolved!
