Just a small change...
Based on feedback, we've changed the alert notification. Now your personal hubwheel turns orange when you have received a notification since you last viewed them. That is, viewing your notifications returns your hubwheel to gray.
Previously, you needed to dismiss all of your notifications before it would turn gray again.
Let us know how this works out for you.
I kinda liked it the old way as well. Also, it's awesome that using the 'dismiss all notifications' button sends you to your feed, and it be great if it also sent you back to your feed after you use the regular 'dismiss' button on your last (or only) notification.
I did. Now I can never click on my hubwheel. Keeping it orange was a reminder that I had messages that I needed to respond to. Also, admittedly, a bit of laziness; I always had messages I needed to respond to. I go through mass-dismissals every few weeks. Because my inbox is something I'm not good about. So now I don't have the reminder which may mean I may lag more (or not).
I requested this change, or something similar. Now when I see orange, it indicates a change of status. There's something new in there. I like it.I always had messages I needed to respond to.
Me too. Therefore, the orange dot never gave me any information. I already know there's a backlog.
You can't make everybody happy, mk, nor should you have to. It is not a bad idea, but don't wear yourself out trying to make sure everyone's copacetic. I had been aware most people wanted this function, and aware that my use of the inbox is off-the-norm.
You could go orange-blue-gray : some unseen, some not dismissed, none.
