i have 4 ghost notifications and 1 ghost suggestion.
i say 'ghost' because i see Notifications (4) and Suggestions (1) but the page says:
"You currently have no notifications."
"You currently have no suggested discussions."
have you had this glitch, too?
does it disappear eventually?

Yes, this happens from time to time. It can sometimes be the fault of your browser cache, in which case refreshing the page (or logging out and then back in again) can cure it. More often it's a glitch in the update procedure, however, and it will eventually clear itself. It happens, I believe, when discussions are deleted (for whatever reason).

@hereandthere No, I don't believe that it has anything to do with blocking.

@owlwings let's say you accidentally blocked me but you didn't realize it, but you still liked and responded to this discussion. will i get a notification about it?

i logged in and out and it's still there.
i guess deleted discussions can be a possible reason.
my theory was more related to blocking.

i guess i could, or just wait for it to disappear just like the previous times.
this is the first time i received a ghost notification for suggestions.

@hereandthere It happened both to me and Barry (Koalemos) many times in the past, then the problem disappeared. I informed Alex when the ghost notifications were no more only 1 but 5.

Yeah. Like I did all my Notifications and it still shows there are 15 and when I check it, nothing is there.

No, the glitch I sometimes get is the list of notifications appearing twice.

the 4 ghost notifs eventually disappeared since i posted this, but early this week, i have 1 ghost notif again.
it's strange that the 1 suggestion notification is still there, though.

@hereandthere I find that the notification for a suggested post takes a long time to disappear after I have read that post.

when it happens, how high or low is the number?
it's strange to see a ghost suggestion, though.

@Daljinder an extra private message? now that's even weirder. yeah, it goes away eventually, but it makes you wonder what it was

@hereandthere AT first, I used to have 1 extra notification. Now it is one extra suggestion. Sometimes it is 1 extra message. It is a harmless glitch as far as I can tell.

it goes away eventually, so you shrug it off, but of course you get curious what it could have been

i just have to remember "minus 4" when the number is down to less than 10 after i've dealt with most of the notifications. maybe it will disappear by next week.

I've had it happen a few times but it goes away after a while.
Currently I've got a message I cant delete because the delete dustbin symbol isn't coming up

really? i haven't heard of that happening. i think with pm's, it has to be alex or bugs that can delete that.
