Is the little envelope/message indicator in the top menu bar meant to flash all the time?
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?

Hi Endelda, no, it's not supposed to do that. 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

Hi Michael! 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

I’m bumping this old thread here so that Michael knows it’s still an issue for FoLCs (since he’s now the tech lead after Annette stepping back to take care of family stuff). Drdeathdefying, SuperBek, and Carrie Rene just today reported that it still happens for them. Sara

Hi guys! I have manually adjusted the database for Toomi8, Drdeathdefying, SuperBek, and Carrie Rene. Please let me know if things are fixed. Michael

May I please ask for this fix, as well? It's on every time I log in, regardless of whether there is a message or not. It's a very hard working little indicator.
Looking forward to this summer's Location Challenge! Looks like stories are due around August 1st, and then polls open for voting! And don't forget about the 2026 fundraiser! Head over to the Fundraising page to donate or consider adding a story to the Keepsake Collection fundraising drive!

Mine does too!
But... I'm not sure I actually want you to fix it. It's done it so long I might really miss it if you did...
(no, that's OK, go ahead and fix it, lol)

Hi guys, I just purged all suspected records from the system. The notification icon should now work correctly for everyone. I can't say how long the fix will hold though. Michael
