And it's irritating because I go there to see if someone's replied to a post of mine, and no, it's just some windy discussion in a forum I've subscribed to that has another post added.

I could leave the "Subscriptions" tab on DU3 yellow pretty much all the time, but I'd always go click on the "My Posts" one as soon as it turned yellow.

Also... flashing? Distracting, it's difficult to have there. Honestly? Feels manipulative.

Can you give us the option to turn off the "flashing" part of the notification feature but keep the color change?

hopefully,

Bright
