Hi @Grumpy_chap

I've moved this to Site Feedback, to keep the new board just for issues with the Rich Editor.

I think this is already a feature request with out provider. I will check.

Personally, I've gotten into the habit of scrolling down and 'Mark All Read' for this issue.

Thanks.

For me, it only seemed to start happening when the new RTE came online. It might be because the new RTE created far more notifications as every time a post is quoted that creates a notification now. Previously, an individual had to be tagged to create a notification.

Yes.

There are a lot of changes that I'm noticing with the editor change, but they aren't really because the editor has changed something.

Another example is that my Iphone Outlook app notifications have suddenly got tiny text - but that's because quoted posts are shown as long links now - and Outlook has decided to shrink all text to the long-link size.

It's probably always done that, but it's only now a problem.

As you mentioned notifications on mobile devices, I use an Android phone (Motorola) and have never received notifications on that device, either before or after the RTE change. I know, when we were away in October, I had been tagged in some threads and simply did not see those queries until returning home to use the PC as normal.
