I had 46 notification messages when I logged in today. Two threads were very very busy with over twenty posts each in the last three hours. I spent an unacceptable amount of time pruning the notifications list, going to a page, removing all notifications from that thread, refreshing, doing the same to the next batch. I only had to navigate to three pages to get caught up and there were 46 notifications. I wish I knew enough programming to suggest a solution that would be acceptable in terms of server side resources when it came to processing what notifications to send down the pipes. Having the notification process check each players notification queue to see if a thread was already listed, and then just update the notification to a new "There are multiple new posts in thread such and such."
