Body

It keeps showing a blue dot. But I can't find any message anywhere

I had this before and fixed it by clearing cache and site data.

If you're on Chrome, navigate here (just paste it in the URL field):

chrome://settings/content/all?searchSubpage=github

and click the trash icon next to GitHub. You'll have to login again and then it will hopefully have disappeared.

Let me know if it worked!

I have Edge and FireFox installed. They both has the ghost notification. So I guess is not a cache problem

I'm on Firefox, both on mobile and desktop and I have this ghost notification on both. Have had it for at least one month.

I've just tried to clear all cookies and site data for GitHub, logged back in and the ghost notification is still there.

Is this a GitHub bug?

Hi @szmcdull,

You can find the solution here. Open your browser console, type allow pasting, then copy and paste the following code into your browser console and execute it (you may need to run it multiple times for it to take effect.):

(function(){var f=document.querySelector('.js-notifications-mark-all-actions form[action="/notifications/beta/mark"]');if(f){fetch(f.action,{method:f.method,body:new FormData(f),credentials:"include"}).then(r=>{if(r.ok)setTimeout(()=>location.reload(),500);});}})();
