I thought it was only supposed to flash when you had an unread message, but it's been blinking at me non-stop since I created this account. Any suggestions? "HUMANS NEED FANTASY TO BE HUMAN.

Just to make sure, you did check that you don't have an unread welcome-to-the-boards message sticking around in your message board inbox? Michael Join us on the #loisclark Discord server!

I just double checked; I only had a few message threads (is that the right term?), and I just deleted all but one and then made sure it was fully read. I'm still blinking I'm using Chrome and Windows 10, if that helps. Endelda "HUMANS NEED FANTASY TO BE HUMAN.

But according to the software support forum, this appears to be a known issue: https://www.ubbcentral.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/247807/ubb-7-5-6-flashing-new-messages-icon and https://www.ubbcentral.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/212363/new-pm-indicator-always-flashing The second thread offers an admin solution, so maybe Annette could help Michael Join us on the #loisclark Discord server!

Drdeathdefying, SuperBek, and Carrie Rene just today reported that it still happens for them. Sara Kerth nominations are opening on March 3! 🏆2024 Kerth Award Posts 🏆.

The notification icon should now work correctly for everyone. I can't say how long the fix will hold though. Michael Join us on the #loisclark Discord server!
