@SIMPLYD I like to keep it clean and it is interesting to go through the notifications to check if we missed a comment or a reply.

@Anna...this is exactly why I tried to stay on top of mine, but for whatever reason, they just keep bouncing back.

I don't clear notifications, they are useful for me to jump to an old discussion, and they are automatically deleted by the system after 7 days. Not deleting them, I miss times to times a comment or a response, especially when I check them in the morning when I have a lot : nobody is perfect

. I have not deleted the suggestions, but I will probably do it soon to keep only the last ones until I have responded to the suggestions I would like to respond to.

@SIMPLYD I have often more than 1k notifications : I would have to spend several hours to delete them.

So it's deleted after 7 days . But then after that time , the notifications will be too long already .

Besides , i trim down the kinds of notifications i will be getting too in my email . At least you have your way with suggestions .

I also delete those Notifications which merely informs me that a user has 'liked' my post and those where some post has been suggested and I've attended to that suggestion. I agree with you that if our mail box has lesser number of notifications, we could ascertain which are the current ones, else we get lost in the sea of notifications.

I never bother with notifications, I don't have that kind of time. I knock down all suggestion because they are redundant..I would have already responded to those posts if those people regularly interact with me. I do look at an odd suggestion here or there.

I read that the notifications are cleared automatically, just as @topffer says, so I don't bother. I do clear my suggestions though, after I've read them.

But don't you get confused seeing them again the next day and forgetting if you have seen them or not already ?

I feel that way , so i delete them the moment i am done with tem .

@SIMPLYD The trouble is that I left it too long before I realised that you could delete them, and now it would just take too long.

I do the same thing. I have a little bit of OCD and just can't stand for them to build up. It drives me up the wall if I have a day when I can't get to them all.

And would you agree that we tend to forget if we have already read the comments when they are still in the notification ?

I don't get upset seeing the suggestions . In fact i like it , because i get to choose which one i would like to read and comment back. The rest i would delete without going into them anymore.

I do mine the first thing when I come in, and I delete them as I go, so I don't get mixed up, as I end up going back to the same discussion I just did. It is much easier for me to do one notification, go back and delete it when done, and go on to the next one.

@Lushlala I am unsure but there is a buzz that the notifications get automatically removed after they are 7 days old.

I love the way MyLot does the notifications and these suggestions. I like that we can delete them after we read them and comment. Unlike other sites I use, their notifications stay there. They just grey them out. They all should give the option to delete.

Once you have deleted them , you have to refresh the ME . You will see that they are already cleared.

I usually open some tabs (like 5 or 6) and then delete those notifications. And I keep doing that until I've cleared/taken care of all the notifications. Same with suggestions.

I delete things as I go. I hate to have all that clutter on my screen. I guess in some ways I have a OCD, cause if I don't delete it, it tends to drive me crazy.
