For the past few weeks now I've had an annoying ghost notification
It doesn't show up as an actual notification for any threads, just a constant 1 on the sidebar, so I can't really do anything to get rid of it
It's not a big issue, I just thought I'd mention it
Same here. I've been having two notifications, even after clearing all my unread.
I'm pretty sure these notifications are from spam that I've flagged. I'm training an anti-spam filter on the messages at the moment and they (and the notifications) should get deleted soon. :)
Awesome! Thank you andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer)!
Hey, so I have a ghost notification now…
@ShadeStar For which board?
None of them, it's just on the side bar permanently.
This is what it looks like for me. I'm not sure about @ShadeStar.
And it's fixed! Don't know when or how that happened lol.
Huh, I have one less, too. Now it's 5/3
I'm pretty sure it's spam posts I've flagged/hidden still. I have a decay system in place that keeps spam posts around (but just hidden) for usually ~24 hours before fully deleting them, so there might be some ghost notifications for some people during that interim state. I'll get that sped up to clean them up faster in tonight's release though.
Ahh, all the notifications are cleared! Thank you so much, andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer)!
:DDD
thank you!!!!!!
Hey, @andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer), just thought I’d let you know the bug has come back. It came back a couple days ago, but fixed itself. I don’t know if it will that again or not, so I thought I’d just give you a heads up. No rush to fix it by any means.
It should sort itself out shortly. The ghost notifications are for unread spam posts that get deleted every night (instead of immediately), so until they get deleted you might see an unread notification or two for those posts (even if you can't see the spam posts themselves).
We've been hit pretty hard with spam this week (around ~400 posts, but most by shadowbanned bots or auto-flagged) so the bug has probably surfaced a bit more often this week, but luckily it's a self-correcting one. :)
It’s sorted out now!
That’s what I thought, I just wanted to make sure it wasn’t something bad that could have been prevented if I had said something sooner.
Thank you, for all the work you do, andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer). You’re really spectacular.
