I've seen some problems with notifications since the upgrade. I'm on a laptop with win10/chrome.

I'll get a tab notification but no red envelope, at least sometimes. When I check there is in fact a message. After reading the message and using backspace, the notification is not cleared. I have to go back to the message and click "show as read" or whatever to clear them. It was not like this before. Simply reading the message and backspacing would reset all notifications. Oh, and I have cleared my cache yesterday.

Not a huge problem but thought you'd like to know.

UPDATE

___

There was an issue with the mentions, I fixed it.

Now everything works as intended.

When you open your PM box (the envelope), unread notifications such as mentions, post replies, comment replies and modmail will not get automatically marked as read (so you don't lose track of what you haven't read yet).

The notification count will decrease only when you'll use "mark as read" or open a message link (or mark all as read).

Thanks for the report, appreciated!

Wow. Fast response, on a weekend no less, and fixes already applied. Poal is worth every penny I send your Nigerian agent for my monthly subscription.

I did it all with half a bottle of single malt down the gullet. :D

Lol. It's Sunday morning, we both should be in church. Heathens, all of us!

Not to drag this out even further, I still notice that I get a tab notification but no red envelope. Not a problem really as I'm usually part way down the page and wouldn't see the envelope anyway. Also noticed a very, very slight delay now in a vote registering when I click the arrow, so maybe the cache is just a little bigger, slower now?
