Since yesterday's downtime, my notification bar indicates one unread message, always. Opening the dropdown shows that all messages are read. The indicator resets when the dropdown closes then, but reappears when the next page is loaded.  Notifications about reputation changes are apparently not visible on the bar anymore.  Logging out and back in has not had any effect, nor did a switch to a different browser.  Have you guys faced similar issues?

This was asked before too. .  Currently I am facing the issue of appearance of reputation notification in above toolbar.  I can see the reputation notification, for every page refresh even after clicking and viewing the notification.  current browser: Chrome Version 36.0.1985.143 m

Previous question:    That was when my buttons died.  On other days, my text dies.    And some times it's just italics.    Now, I like blaming @skiwi for this, and he's often nearby when it happens.  But today, he's not here, and it happened again.    I'm running Windows 8 and using Chrome 40.0.2214.94 m.  Refreshing and such does not fix the issue.  Inspect element -> console -> error log:  http://chat.stackexchange.com/chats/8595/messages/new Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 409 (Conflict) http://i.stack.imgur.com/2ZJdJ.png?s=128&amp;g=1&amp;g&amp;s=16 Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 502 (Bad Gateway) http://i.stack.imgur.com/boUZp.jpg?g&amp;s=16 Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 502 (Bad Gateway) http://i.stack.imgur.com/U8P3C.jpg?s=128&amp;g=1&amp;g&amp;s=32 Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 502 (Bad Gateway) http://i.stack.imgur.com/boUZp.jpg?g&amp;s=16 Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 504 (Gateway Time-out) http://chat.stackexchange.com/messages/19891816 Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 409 (Conflict)   What's going on here?  I should note, I can view italics by selecting, then alt-tabbing:    So it reeks of a client-side issue. What's hiding the text from me?  EDIT:  30 april 2015 it happened again =/

With the new reputation system I get a lot of useless reputation up and down information in my history. This happens when a user upvote, unupvote and then upvote again in a small time window.  upvote/unupvote example:    accept/unaccept example:    This is very annoying and doesn't reflect anymore my common-sense-inspired reputation history.  Could something be done to fix this behavior?    For example show it only if the answer has been edited in between the upvote-unupvote?    Should it also be disabled for the first 5 minutes (like the edit notification)? (I don't know if this 5 minutes limbo is already in place or not)  Note: I believe that such users are in good faith and/or just newbies, but this seems to me like a highway for trolling:

I'm having an odd and inconsistent problem where certain inbox notifications are re-appearing within my inbox every few days, even though the date/time for the notification is a week, two weeks, a month, two months or even three months ago. Unfortunately my screenshot didn't take so I don't have a screenshot at this time. The messages I'm getting within the inbox that are repeating though are posts that have been migrated, moderator elections, and other non-answer related items.  Usually a page refresh or clicking on the inbox notification badge, opening the inbox dropdown, and clicking outside of the dropdown clears the messages out of the timeline. Yet every week or so they all re-appear again.    Update I finally was able to capture a screenshot. This was taken this morning at 8:06am. Even though I have an inbox notification of "7", you can see that the "newest" inbox notification dates from May 22nd and the other 6 "new" notifications are from as far back as Feb 2014.

Over the last week or so, the official top bar has returned to Area 51.  It was there briefly a few months back, but seems to have returned for good.  Definitely a positive, as I have always welcomed our new top bar overlords.  The rep dropdown (of yore) was the only way to see new reputation changes on Area 51, though.  Since the Area 51 reputation tally is not integrated with the rest of the SE ecosystem and there is no designated area on the Area 51 profile for recent rep changes, I'm down to the old abacus for keeping track of changes.  Having this reputation information may seem trivial, and it is, but I do use the growth in number of new followers as a cue to check on my proposals.  I certainly don't think it's worth anyone's efforts to crowbar the old Area 51 system into the new top bar, and I understand all of the issues in , but is there any way to monitor these rep changes in the meantime, or could we just get the old rep dropdown back again for a time, like it had been up until last week?    I'm not a begging person, but any hint of an Area 52 would be nice, too.

At the moment, I have the latest notification in the global inbox, content of which does not correspond either to the comment itself or the copy of it on "recent responses" page. This seems like the comment was edited and the updated version was not copied to the global inbox.    ETA: OK, now this looks more coherent.

Don't worry! I got all my 100 reputation :) It just didn't appear that way...    The notification says +100, but why does it say +97 at the top?  Edit  I created an account on server fault, and this time it says +96. I assume it's because of the down votes on this question; however, I thought down votes aren't shown in the rep you gain.

The daily, weekly and month reputation on not appearing on either the StackOverflow or the Meta flyout that appears when hovering over the username.    Across the board everything is zero. I am seeing this in both Firefox and Chrome.

When you get reputation, you get a +X green spot on your reputation feed telling you that you gained reputation and if you drop down the menu, you get more detail.  How about we make it that when you lose more than you got since the last time you checked, you see it red with a little -X.  For example, let's say you've just looked at the reputation bar so any old rep notification is gone and you ask a new question. 3 users downvote your question and 1 upvotes it. You will see it green because you gained 5 rep but you should see it red because you are at -1 rep.   This would help people improve their questions / answer by seeing, as soon as they get on the site, that they got negative feedback and that something needs to be checked / changed.    It shows here so it could very well be applied to the notification count:

I  and while on other sites I did not get a 'Reputation Notification' to explain that I was given 2 upvotes for my answer - yet if I manually check my Profile here at meta.SE my total Reputation is in agreement with the amount there.  I'm not knowledgeable about the intercommunication between the servers and sites but I would explain it this way: Super User either failed to send or other sites failed to receive the message the I had a reputation update on Super User.  I should have received either two green star trophies (🏆) of 10 reputation each or one of 20; depending on when I returned to one of the Stack Exchange / Stack Overflow / Super User / etc. sites.  Here's a screenshot showing no reputation change notification for Super User:    Here's a screenshot of my Profile over at Super User showing that I was silently credited:    I'm bringing this up on Meta.SE in case the communication is broken between more sites than just Super User and everywhere else.

Today I gave a .  This results of course in a negative score for today.   Since then I don't get any more notifications for new rep in the new top-bar on meta.    Only after resetting the rep indicator by clicking on it I get new notifications.

Related:    Today, we had . This sort of sparked me into coming up with a new feature-request (Can't find a dupe, surprised).  Basically, we should have more control over what does and does not appear in the multicollider. This includes:   Muting comments and/or answers on a specific post. Muting comments from a specific user Ignoring all comments not addressed to you in a post of yours (I don't think this is that good, though--many times comments address both the OP and the other guy). Ignoring certain chat rooms The ability to make answers/comments on posts written by others to ping your multicollider.   Note that "Mute" could mean that it shows up in the inbox, but doesn't trigger the colorful glowing circle on the multicollider.    With the new "notifications" thing, there may be some scope in making certain notifications opt-in or opt-out (not all of these exist, but many would be useful in the notifications tab):   Notification of rejected edit Notification of  posts Notification of change to favorites Notification of certain badges Notification of edits Notification of edits to posts you have upvoted Notification of edits to posts you have downvoted (yes, should be separate)  - Notification of edits to posts you have closevoted

I have found the  has been helpful in prompting me to review queues.  There should be red when there's red dots against review queues:   image stolen from   However, when I have used all my reviews for some queues:    If those queues are large enough to warrant the red alert, it will still show on my review icon, even though none of the queues I am able to review in are not alerting.     It would be better if it is like this:    Can we have the red alert vanish if the alert is for queues we have finished reviewing for the day please? It's honestly annoying and will eventually degrade the UX for avid reviewers. (imo)

When I'm surfing between SE sites where I'm a member (e.g. I'm on SO and I click on a link to Web Apps or something), any of these things can happen, seemingly at random:   Everything is seamless and I'm logged in automatically Or I get a big notification bar saying "Welcome back Mr Lister; Click here to refresh" Or I'm not logged in at all and I need to click the Log In link manually   Why is that? What causes these differences?  Edit: I found , which has a  tag, but I'm not sure if it's the same problem.

On my iMac running Mountain Lion, Messages is chronically showing that I have 2 unread messages in its Dock icon.  However there are no unread messages at all.  I've even gone through and clicked on every single conversation in my history, just to make sure there wasn't some long-forgotten message floating around that hadn't been read.  It's not causing any major problems, but it is annoying to constantly think I've got a new message when i don't.  Anyone know why this happens?

I would like to suggest an update to Stack Exchange sites regarding the notification that is shown when a user earns a new badge.  Currently, all notifications are shown in the same color, like this:    This notification is great, but if you get more than one badge, it can be difficult to differentiate between those and "normal" messages.  I would like to propose this:  For each new badge a user earns, the background color should change based on the badge type. So for a gold badge, the background would be gold, etc...  Here's a quick look on how it would look like:    Now, if you earn more than one, it will look like this:    I think that this way it becomes much easier to distinguish all newly earned badges.

When I try to open my reputation notifications on the responsive design on my phone, I get this:    It's really thin, I can't see any of the items in there, and the links are off to the side. It happens at least on Literature.SE and Meta.SE.
