auto dismiss notifications

is it the same call that marks them as read when you are visiting a page for which you have a notification ?

There isn't a call on the notification page. When you reload the page, they are simply supposed to be gone. The notifications page doesn't update via AJAX on page views in other tabs.

What triggers the removal is viewing the last page of the topic that the notification refers to. We're probably going to need a copy of your database to figure out why this isn't being triggered.

OK, the prblem is solved... it was just the tracking setting that was set to cookie instead of database.
Everything works fine now.

You should probably remove the cookie option given it almost non functionnal at this point .

We did remove it in vB4 right at the end. I suspect it will come out of vB5 in due course. The issue when we did it in vB4 was that for those who used it, the behaviour changed and they considered it 'broken', when it fact it was arguably broken previously.

When you fix a bug and people aren't happy because the became a feature for them... drives me crasy every time when it happen to me .
