Notifications

OK this thing is bugging me daily so raising a thread about it.
The notifications popup that we have, why does it have to mark all the five visible comments as read when you keep it open for a few seconds? This is just really frustrating as the notifications themselves don't give any clue what the target post is, so after they are all marked read, I have to click through all of them even if they would all concern only a few posts.
Also, why just 5? I would love to have it scrollable, so I can read my notifications from the menu and they would be only marked read when I have seen the actual post in question.
This is how Facebook works and tbh it's fantastic :)
Do people like the way it is or can I make an attempt to change it?

What should be default when fixing #4810? Closed Sat 29 Mar 2014 10:07AM
If #4810 functionality is merged in - the NEW functionality should be default in the user settings.
There is a fix for the notifications being marked read when the notifications menu is opened that already has working code. Due to feedback, there will be a user setting made to control whether the notifications should be marked as read without actually reading them.
In other words, this setting will control whether to have it work like it works now (notifications are marked read 2s after opening the notifications dropdown) - or not mark them read automatically at all, unless user visits post/action in question.
This vote is ONLY about this setting and ONLY about which should be default - current behaviour or new behaviour.
Vote;
YES - if you want to keep the current behaviour as default
NO - if you want the new behaviour to be default

I'm with the OP - this is SO annoying. Marking them as read after just a few secs is really frustrating. I voted NO (as per proposal details) so we can hopefully get this fixed as I'd love the NEW behaviour!

I think the current behaviour is more intuitive for a new user so i think it should be the default one,

I really think it's a bug that notifications are marked read automatically. I would like new users to have less bugs ;)

I don't like this automatic read "feature" so lets set the new as default

If the new proposal is the one shown in the video t seems fine to me to have it as default.

I think the most important point is to mark as read notifications when we open a post in the single post view. Even if the user doesn't touch to the notification panel or page.
