In my short time here, I already got a lot of Discourse notifications:

According to [this meta.discourse post](https://meta.discourse.org/t/feature-request-please-add-dismiss-all-notifcations-link-to-user-activty-widget-box/61694/2),

> Notifications go away when you interact with the cause of the notification, either by clicking the notification or navigating manually to the cause […]

However, my notifications don’t go away like that, and in addition to that, the `Dismiss All` button is disabled on my page [https://discourse.slicer.org/u/jondo/notifications](https://discourse.slicer.org/u/jondo/notifications).

Does this work for you?

I don’t think there is any way to clear the list. Viewing a thread or clicking “Dismiss All” will get rid of the unread count above your user icon (number inside a blue circle, e.g.: ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/slicer/original/1X/73bd1291f46d1f096a6fce3548e8b1b2f70d2d5f.jpg)) and the light blue highlighting of each unread row in the activity list.

Ah, I expected the items in the small popup list to be removed, like the Discourse founder had implemented on StackOverflow. I have [told the Discourse people](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-delete-clear-notifications/37783/13?u=jondo) now.
