I was trying to work out how to best describe the issue our community has been facing for while now, thankfully @ljpp has explained our biggest community complaint perfectly here:

> [@ljpp](#):
>
> there is something off with the notifications

> [@ljpp](#):
>
> **Profile pic has no notification bubble**

> [@ljpp](#):
>
> **Tap it and there is a ton of stuff**

This is exactly what our members _(and I)_ are complaining about 😕

> [@JammyDodger](#):
>
> The notification bubble on the avatar isn’t sticky

😔

> [@ljpp](#):

> What is the idea of this design? It is causing some confusion in the community, our staff included.

Same. Our club members, our TL3, our TL4 and _all_ of our staff are all being driven mad by this behaviour.

It most definitely did.

The complaint from our community, and our own team (and myself!) is that if you receive 5x DMs overnight, you click to read the first one, you reply or action whatever needed actioning and then whoosh! The green envelope is gone and you’re completely unaware of any unread DMs (and 101 other notifications).

Is there a setting to revert this behaviour? So a flair remains visible all the time you have unread “things”? Or maybe a theme component or similar to override this? 🤔
