I often use the Dismiss button to dismiss all my notifications when I see they are just likes and I already know (or don’t care) what the likes were for. This saves me from having to dismiss them one at a time by opening up each notification. However, when I have an important notification (a reminder in this case), my only choices are to open them one at a time or also dismiss the important notification.
It would be nice if there was a third button in that popup to just dismiss the non-important notifications. I don’t know what wording to use, but something like this.
If I remember correctly, this occurred a site which just switched to the new notification menu. Are you saying that the dismissals are scoped to the selected tab? It never even occurred to me to try that. I rarely have more than a few notifications, so I haven’t had much reason to use the tabs.
Personally I like Sam’s suggestion (much cleaner than mine). That said, this was a very light suggestion anyway since I also rarely have “important” notifications. Just figured I’d bring it up since I ran into it.
Slight tangent, but I personally would find more use in being able to dismiss individual notifications, similar to a feature Facebook has. Should I open a new topic for that?
Sure, I think we can keep this topic open and see what others think. If we can agree on the design, perhaps it is a candidate for a community contribution. @awesomerobot any thoughts on the proposal Sam made above?
