Hi, so I noticed that whenever you hover over the bell icon in the top right for notifications, it's really sensitive to when you try to scroll down to the notifications itself because it quickly collapses. is there a way to make it static instead of actually clicking on it to get it to stay? even clicking on it and scrolling outside the drop down notifications causes it to collapse back. it's kinda frustrating. thank you!

Ha, I went to this section to post the exact same thing! It's because when you move your mouse down it isn't over part of the rectangle it will disappear, you wouldn't think that would be too bad but if you aim to click for the 'Show all' it's easy to go past the edge and it vanishes, very annoying!

Either make the border bigger or have it stay when you click on the bell and vanish when you re-click.

Actually, it's not just when you go out of the rectangle... If within this you however over a username displayed within it, it shows an overlay of their profile and the whole thing vanishes. I'd say the devs disable the overlay coming up, even if the rectangle stayed it would be a bit distracting. I'd say a lot of users are going for the 'Show All' button and don't make it.

We are still trying to fine-tune the alerts.
I'm sure you are looking at this already but just wanted to mention the notifications not marking themselves as Read, it's fine to manually tick them if you haven't clicked on them but if there are too many the alerts will always have a high number when you log in even though you've seen them previously.

Just throwing my two cents in: My notification bell currently says "11", but most of them are old and have already been checked/seen. It only sometimes clears part of the notifications, and only sometimes do I get notifications for groups I'm in. Just wanted to add that in case the information helps.

Someone knows if it's possible receive notifications only in the case of pics or videos? I wanna stop receive most of notifications, once big part of them are just posts with text. Thanks.

yeah alert/notifications does not work nearly as well as the old system. they don't clear correctly either.
i notice that i get far fewer and wonder if it is a problem or if no one is using LPSG anymore.......

The alerts are being worked on now.. I have a huge improvement on them now versus last week, but i believe they are still being tweaked.

Did you review your alert settings found here: https://www.lpsg.com/account/preferences?

Hi there
Starting last week, I've been facing this issue where despite clicking on 'mark as read' (for all notifs) again and again, they keep showing up again as unmarked (highlighted and increasing the unread count from a mere 5 to 160 or so)
Dunno what the issue is but clearly a glitch that needs addressing
Thanks in advance

Just saw these. Related issues, clearly.
I'm sure you are looking at this already but just wanted to mention the notifications not marking themselves as Read, it's fine to manually tick them if you haven't clicked on them but if there are too many the alerts will always have a high number when you log in even though you've seen them previously.

Pls help :sob:

These related issues should have been fixed before.. if you go here: https://www.lpsg.com/account/alerts?show_only=unread

And click 'mark read', does this mark the batch as read at that point? Does your notification list go away?
Thanks for the reply.

Clicking 'mark read' does mark the batch read at that point, but they get somehow unmarked again in a while. Nevertheless, I resolved the issue for now by manually unmarking some 200-ish notifs XD
