I really like the way Github handles notifications: You click on the notifications icon and get a list of notifications. However the stays until you’ve read or dismissed all notifications.
In contrast, when I click on the notification count in Discourse, the / / etc. disappears at once. When I click on one of the notifications, the notification count is gone, and I might miss notifications that are buried in the “view older notifications…” screen.
What do you think? Can this behaviour be improved?
I think the idea behind removing the count of notifications is that we don’t want to force you to click on EVERY notification to decrease the count all the way to zero to get it to disappear again.
You still shouldn’t miss any notifications because anything pending should still be highlighted in the notification dropdown and on the “view older notifications…” page.

I don’t see the problem here. Does it annoy people to see the
notification count?

They are, but: Given the situation that the whole list is highlighted
(more than X notifications). When I have gone through the whole list and
no notifications are highlighted in the dropdown anymore: Are there
still unread notifications? I don’t actually know until I click the
“view older notifications…”-button. Sometimes there will be further
notifications highlighted, sometimes there won’t. Since the count is
gone, I can’t tell beforehand.
Ich wünschte wirklich, es gäbe in den Benutzereinstellungen eine Option, um auszuwählen, ob die Benachrichtigungsanzahl verschwinden soll oder nicht. In meinem Fall möchte ich, dass sie persistent angezeigt wird, d. h. solange ungelesene Benachrichtigungen vorhanden sind.
Ich verstehe, aber warten wir noch ein wenig. Wir sind mitten in einer großen Überarbeitung des Benachrichtigungsmenüs, bei der wir Benachrichtigungen in jedem Abschnitt viel besser hervorheben.
