Was it showing up immediately when the page loaded, or did it show up afterwards?

I mean it is not consistent

sometimes it says I have one as as soon as I load the page

sometimes it says I have one after I switch to the tab

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

So this is a regular issue then? Or it's just being really inconsistent over the past few minutes?

consistently inconsistent

as in it happens all the time

but it is inconsistent in whether it does it as as soon as I load the page or after I load it for a while

And when was the last time it happened? I have an idea for what could be causing it, but I couldn't find anything to support it when I looked around the time that you originally reported this.

i get some weird pointless notifications as well when i'm on another tab ,but that's some doesn't happen much
like that time when i left one page of a topic open and was on another tab then i got a notification of a reply on that topic that i had seen before at an instant when the reply was originally made

have you tried the "mark site as read" button?

maybe if you mark everything as read then it wont have trouble deciding :)

Does that mean you're still getting it? How many notifications does it say are unread for you, and how many are actually unread, right now?

Are you sure? Asking the forum to count the actual number of unread notifications that you have is returning the same as what it claims it's displaying on the badge, even right around the time that you posted that. You do seem to be getting notifications quite frequently, but I can't see why that would cause issues.

When you open the notification list, are there notifications there that are actually unread, but that aren't showing as unread (so they're not bold, but you think they should be), that could be causing it?

This has been happening to me too from time to time. Randomly (as in, I cannot discern any pattern as to when it happens). Sometimes it happens, sometimes I can go weeks without it occurring. It happened once last night, there is no telling when it will happen again. There is a thread discussing this problem (still unresolved) here.

It still happens from time to time even though my OS has changed to Win10 and my browser is now Chrome version 51.0.2704.103. I mostly gave up and just live with it.

There were I think I opened them all to see if that was it

I think the issue is probably that you're getting a notification, such as for a new like on a post, but it is then being removed. The notification itself is being removed correctly, but the count isn't being recalculated.

I have reported this issue to the devs, so hopefully it will be fixed in a future update.

I've had that before but shouldn't it be seen in the menu still?

Certain notifications can be removed from the menu without recalculating the count.

Tonight it's doing it almost every time I move to a new page on the forum.

Is it just the count on the notification icon going back to 1 even after you've read them all, or are you getting popups about it (either browser notifications or the popup in the bottom left of the page)?

It was just the count going back to 1 and the notification sound playing, but no popups and all notifications showed as read (and there were indeed, no new notifications displayed).

Was it 1 immediately when the page loaded, or did it only change to 1 about a second afterwards?
