Well, maybe I'm stupid, or just half blind, but is there any way to get rid of the "red little square with a number in it that is on top of the little picture of a flash" at the top of the window representing "What's New"? This number indicates how many new posts and threads that's been posted since I last reset it.
Have looked in my account Preferences without finding anything that will do the trick...
Right now there are only fourteen of them, but the number keeps growing endlessly, and after a while it's getting to be too much for me, and I have to open a new tab to "Mark Forums Read", and it's driving me nuts...
Then, to add insult to injury, after doing this, I have to refresh every fr*gg*n tab, because the old number of 179, or whatever, keeps hanging around...
As I tend to have between five and twenty tabs open to the content I'm interacting with, or just reading, it's seriously annoying.
Please misunderstand me correctly here, it's not that I'm averse to new content, but I really don't need a notification for every new post in every thread.
I'm quite satisfied with the normal "Alerts"
notifications represented by the number in the little red square on top of the little bell symbol...
Please help!
Disregard the term "FLASH NOTIFICATIONS" in the screenshot above. It's what the arrows are pointing at that I'm talking about!
