The discussion revolves around the issue of badge notifications not being marked as read in Discourse. Remah mentioned that clearing multiple notifications for earning a badge was a painful task, but codinghorror pointed out that the “Dismiss All” button can be used to quickly clear all notifications. Remah acknowledged missing the button and apologized for the mistake. codinghorror suggested that the “Dismiss All” button should be easier to find, which Remah agreed with, noting that its positioning can make it hard to notice. Remah also observed that the button is more visible on mobile devices.
As far as I can tell it is still the case that badge notifications do not show up as read despite the declared irritation with that state two years ago.
I just received twenty notifications for earning ‘Nice Share’ on another forum. Clearing all twenty notifications was a painful task. Maybe I should have left the notifications uncleared but once I had started I decided to finish. I also noticed that the only notifications that I have never cleared were all badge notifications - they’re all cleared now.
My mistake. I totally missed that button.
