Why Are My Notifications Numbers Going Down?

Yesterday I had 80+ Notifications. Now, I only have 47.

 

 

Why are my Notifications Numbers going down?

 

 

Is this another computer glitch?

 

 

I was just curious.

My guess - if threads get deleted, the notifications are as well.

@Anonymous032819    It's so important to me, I didn't even know you could get a "notifications number".  Where is it?

 

I don't think a deleted thread affects notifications.

@Kachina624 ,

 

@ThinkingOutLoud  is correct. Notifications disappear when a thread is deleted.  The post you are being notified of is gone.

@Pearlee   Yes, they disappear so you can't reference them but I've noticed the number doesn't change or maybe it's the post count that doesn't change.  Yes, I believe it's the posts, you still get credit for a post you wrote on a deleted thread.

WoW...you are popular.

 

 

I think I've had at the most 16 in all the years I've been here.  I click on notifications, scan them, see who mentioned me, look to see who it was, either I answer or just ignore.

 

I'm not here to be "right" which seems to be the trend lately.

@Anonymous032819- when threads go away, everything attached with them goes too.

@qbetzforreal    The total post count does not change even when threads are deleted.  You still get credit for it if you posted while it was still active.

@Kachina624  That's completely different from the notification number which does go down.

I'm having a hard time understanding this.   Do you get a discount or prize?    I don't understand the MSN "points" either....
