Unread Notifications Disappeared

[comicsansms]

Recently I haven't been checking the forum notifications and just let them bank up for about a week. 

I have been browsing the forum today, I had just shy of 250 notifications, I went on the forum just a moment ago and there was now no unread notification, the 250 or so notifications where marked as read

I didn't press the notification bell and I didn't go to the https://linustechtips.com/main/notifications/ page.

Notifications are flaky like that.  That's why I used a combination of emails for important things and a customized form of the Unread Content activity stream to keep track of things.  I'd suggest the latter for most situations, it's more reliable than "the bell", as you've found.

Once you click the notification button and they load up, they'll be marked as read. Happened to me as well, found it strange at first but than got used to it.

I don't have anything important on here and I can find a thread if I want to read it. I don't think it is worth while for me to make a form or sending me emails when something happens.

I knew where I was up to, so I was able to catch up on everything I missed out on.
