    Notifications...

    I'm having a slight issue with notifications.

    When I log in, I'll see something like this:

    screen1.png

    It tells me there are three new notifications.

    So, then I click on it, and I get this:

    screen2.png

    That tells me if those notifications are for likes or responses on my posts.

    I'll then click on the yellow highlight and it will show a list of posts for which I've received notifications:

    screen03.png

    I'll then click on the first one, and it will take me to the pertinent post. Thus far, all is grand and right with the world. However, when I click on "notifications" again, so I can click on subsequent posts which have received responses, there's nothing left to click, as seen in the highlighted block here:

    screen4.png

    As we know, an active thread can generate numerous likes and responses. Unfortunately, unless I'm able to commit the entire initial list to memory (and I'm not), I'm unable to get to anything past the first post I click on.

    Does this make sense?

    I'd be indebted to whoever can explain how I might rectify this.

    Hmmm...

    Mostly what I got out of that is that MisterVeritis likes you better than me.

    Seriously though, from your screenshots -- you've got the Thanks window open, not the Responses window.

    That happens to me, too.

    Only do the Response notifications "stick."

    At least on mine.

    If I want to see which post someone liked without closing out of the Thanks window, I'll just right-mouse click and then open in a new tab. That way, I can toggle back and forth.

    You can always hit Alt plus the Back Arrow to go back. Or click the little arrow that points back at the top left of your browser window. But, if you open Notifications again, as far as I know, the Thanks will not appear until you have some new thanks.

    The real question is why does MisterVeritis like you better?

    I thought that was just the way the forum works. I check out the pertinent thread, bask in the glory of getting the Thanks for a second or two, then hit the back button, which takes me back to the list.

    That's the way the forum software works, just use the back button to return to the thanks page.

    Once you go to your thanks page, it clears the count. Same with other notifications.

    What I do is open Thanks, and then right click links to open in new tabs, keeping the Thanks page open. --Actually I just use the middle mouse button to open links in new tab.

    Or use this link: https://thepoliticalforums.com/recent_thanks.php

    Actually, quote notifications don't clear until you open each individual one. It's a shame the thanks page doesn't work the same way. But it is what it is, lol.

    Thanks for the response.

    It happens with the "Thanks" or the responses. It just so happened the examples I was able to grab were from the 'Thanks" page.

    Again, thank you!

    But that's the thing, it doesn't seem to matter which page it is...

    I would say something but it wouldn't be nice so I won't say it.
    Devotion to the truth is the hallmark of morality; there is no greater, nobler, more heroic form of devotion than the act of a man who assumes the responsibility of thinking.”
