Number of notifications isn't linked.
At top right of Community, when we're logged in, we see a block status indicators. Username, pulldown, Avatar space, Bell icon, # of unread Notifications, space, Envelope icon, # of unread Inbox Messages, Help. All are linked, except for # of unread Notifications. This is inconsitent with the # of unread Inbox Messages, which is linked. I find myself wondering why a non-zero numberical indicator won't click through to something as it does just to the right and on most other sites with notifications.Tagging users works when it wants to.
Laptop, Windows 7, Chrome, all up to date everything. I want to tag users in posts here. I type @ sign and start typing their username....as I would if @mentioning someonw on twitter. Sometimes the name recognition engine kicks in (though very slowly...zzz wake me when it's over......) and sometimes it ignores that I started typing Name no matter how long I wait. Sometimes it works and doesn't work in the same post.Notifications should remain on screen
The block of notificaitons for community that show username, avaatar, # of notifcaitons, # of mesages in inbox, Help at top of screen should be in the top banner. They should remain on the screen and not scroll off the screen . Notificaitons are supposed to be there to let you know something happened. User shouldn't have to go look for them.Re: Number of notifications isn't linked.
Thank you AndyK. I'm surprised no one else has noticed this. FYI. When New Notifications = 0 it displays nothing (black). When New Messages = 0 it displays "0" I would expect them to behave in the same way. I had posted a separate issue months ago about this "notifications area" scrolling off the screen, when we scroll down. This is not standard. See other sites.... where status indicators are part of the unscrollable header of the page. I'm sure I don't have the nomenclature right. But the point of notifications is generally to let you know that there are things to go see...no matter where you are on the site. Sites don't normally have the user have to reset a page or hunt for status indicators....they are jsut persisitently there. https://community.lithium.com/t5/Suggestions-for-our-community/Notifications-should-remain-on-screen/td-p/193287 Thanks.
