On PC what do you see in your browser console? And in /logs? ---

I can see that: ![This image shows the developer tools interface of a web browser displaying layout and style information in French with a warning about layout order. (Captioned by AI)](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/d/7/7/d77ad873092739f67b3e1391e5e93c5f660a46d8.png) ---

So this is what happens: ![The image shows a computer screen displaying an Autocad bookmark list with a red arrow pointing at a hidden label and text overlays indicating a comment about the lack of visibility of that label in the bookmarks.

the notifications show the title of the topic that is bookmarked, not the name of _your bookmark_. the notification ones may also appear in a different order, depending on their recent activity. ---

Ok, any way to show in the notification dropdown the name of my bookmarks ? ---

hah. I don’t think I have seen that request before. Perhaps by posting in the #Contribute > Feature or #Marketplace categories (or #Development category if you want to build that functionality yourself). ---

The reason is often my post titles are long and not displayed fully in the notification dropdown, a short name would be welcome. But that’s a very small issue 😀 ---

there is mention of it here actually: (thanks @Moin) > [@Wishlist: 'Note to self' in bookmark/reminder](https://meta.discourse.org/t/wishlist-note-to-self-in-bookmark-reminder/312769/2): > > I use the ‘What is this bookmark for’ field for notes. Then I can find the information when I edit the bookmark and at the list of bookmarks.
