BuddyPress.org

I’d like to check my site is behaving correctly with notifications. In the WP admin bar the notification may change from a zero to 1 upon browser refresh. This is not consistent, sometimes it updates, other times it doesn’t. And that number will never climb above 1, no matter how many notifications are pending – you can see the actual number pending but only by hovering over it. And if you refresh the browser window enough times, the number will change back to zero, regardless of whether the notifications have been read or not.

Is this really the intended behaviour?

I’m using Buddyboss 3.1.5 and the notifications count on a user profile page does at least climb until all pending have been counted. Refresh the browser once more, and as above the number resets to zero, regardless of the read/unread status.

I see the same behaviour with Twenty Twelve so I’m guessing it’s not a theme issue, but the functionality seems odd to me? If that is how it works, I’ll turn it off since it would appear broken to standard users.

WP 3.8.1
BP 1.9

Thanks,
Paul.
