Unable to read the notifications

Since few weeks I see that I have notifications

After I click on the bell I see nothing and the bell is gray with 0 number

After reload the page I got again ghost notifications

Is there something on “Home” page?
If you login in incognito window, do notifications appear?

What do you mean? Don’t see anything unusual.

Logged in guest clean Chrome profile. Nothing changed.

What do you mean?

things like accept/reject direct challenge may continue to stay here if I just clear notification instead of clicking reject

Same here for a few days. Bell is lit and indicates a message, clicking the bell clears it but no message. It’s reproduceable - reoccurs each time I open OGS.

No, and no.

ETA: Actually, although I saw no messages, I clicked “Clear notifications” and behavior returns to normal. No message notification when reopening OGS.

But you just cleared messages. It is not the solution. You dont read them. I want to read them.

[Fragile_Pākehā]

You are correct of course. I had incorrectly assumed it was some kind of zero length string.

[ 0:21]Napster: Anyone else getting blank notifications alerts?

[ 5:00]Denosaur: For a couple of days whenever I log in, I see blue “1 new notification” icon. But when I click it, it just dissapears, and shows no unread notifications.

I’ve been having the same thing for a while too. Weird.

Same issue for me. Notification marker shows number of new unread messages, but popup is empty. It is persistent until I press “Clear notifications” followed by full page reload. Eventually new phantom messages arrive, same story.

JS console has some errors coming from Notifications.tsx, renderNotification() method.
For me currently these two:
Unsupported notification: streak_freeze_consumed
Unsupported notification: streak_at_risk

Quite weird, didn’t even know there were “streak”-s here on OGS…

Anyway, these have no handler defined in the above script, so they fall through into the error case, not rendering anything just logging this to the console.
Maybe some new feature, and the client side code wasn’t deployed yet?
