A button that allows me to mark all notifications a READ would massively help. As it is, there is no way to get rid of your notification count without selecting them one at a time, going to the notification source, then returning to the notification page again. What a bother.
Agreed! Unfortunately we can't add anything like that. We're at the mercy of the site developer on that one. Sorry!
Would it help if we sat down in front of the developer's desk and held our breath and stomped our feet? 😜
So the problem is solved now. When you have new alerts there is a button that appears to the top right of the page, labeled "Mark all as read" Click that and the notifications clear up.
