Alerts being marked read immediately

[Jonathan Scott]

I'm seeing a very recent change that when I open my Alerts menu to see what's new, everything gets marked "Read a moment ago", instead of individual items remaining unread until I have looked at them. Is this a bug?

Have you been on your Preferences page recently? There's a setting there that you might have accidentally changed. Go to your preferences (I think this link should work) and find "Alerts pop-up skips mark read" - you want it to be ticked. Click Save and wait for somebody to post so you can test ..

I was facing this too. Had to manually change back that setting.

More likely it was accidentally changed for us!

Just changed it back myself.

I updated that feature a couple weeks ago and it must have reset a default.

Thanks for the thread start and the fix! I was experiencing the same issue.

Thanks - that explains it and after setting the option it's now working as before.
