On PC what do you see in your browser console?

And in /logs?

I can see that:

So this is what happens:

The image shows a computer screen displaying an Autocad bookmark list with a red arrow pointing at a hidden label and text overlays indicating a comment about the lack of visibility of that label in the bookmarks. (Captioned by AI)

the notifications show the title of the topic that is bookmarked, not the name of your bookmark. the notification ones may also appear in a different order, depending on their recent activity.

Ok, any way to show in the notification dropdown the name of my bookmarks ?

hah. I don’t think I have seen that request before. Perhaps by posting in the Contribute > Feature or Marketplace categories (or Development category if you want to build that functionality yourself).

The reason is often my post titles are long and not displayed fully in the notification dropdown, a short name would be welcome. But that’s a very small issue :grinning_face:

there is mention of it here actually: (thanks @Moin)
