Yesterday, I updated a site from latest-release +19 to latest. All went well, except I myself started getting lots of notifications about group messages for a group I am not in. I looked at the group inbox and the button to change notification level is not displaying correctly. I tried [safe mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/53504?silent=true) and there was no change. I also rebuilt again, with no luck.
It looks like this:
When I select it and choose “normal” I get this in the javascript console:
On another site I manage, the button looks like the below and when I change notification level no error appears in the console. Though I did notice the icon sometimes disappears - I think that is a known separate issue.

Quick followup - a fellow staff member on that forum pointed out to me that the `helpdeskteam` group is getting multiple notifications about the same notification event. This is pretty weird! This is the same group I am having trouble with as explained in OP.

Does that site have any non-standard plugins? I think that this is a common problem with . .. something that I can’t remember.

Plugins need to be well written for disabling them to actually turn them all the way off. If remove all of those and make your life better. 😉
