@Dave, the blue notification pops up, I click on it to see thumbs up, close it and when I switch forums, it pops back up and it continues to pop back up. I don't get new ones till I reboot. It then starts all over with that batch of thumbs up
I rebooted several times last night and night before
I thought it might be on my end but now I don't think so
Thanks for any help

I thought it cleared up today but it is still happening

@Dave, my blue system message is still staying on till I reboot and I don't get new messages until I do reboot

I made a change that will hopefully fix this for you Jolana.

Okay, thank you so much! Seems to have worked

Uh, @Dave....it's baaaack!
It did stop for a while. I noticed this morning that it doesn't happen on my IPhone. Is there some conflict with Windows 10. Can I do anything on this end besides reboot?
Sorry for the trouble and I know you have more important things to do, so it's okay if you take your time

Well I'm not sure what's causing it so it's hard to answer that question. It sounds like your computer is caching and saving an old copy of the web page.

I made changes to how the website instructs your browser to not cache copies of the pages. It may be that it will take a little time (a day?) for your computer to notice the change on the site. If it's still happening tomorrow I'd like to know.

Thank you very much

@Dave still happening, sorry

Okay, @Dave I am on my old laptop, no problem. On my iphone, ipad, tablet, no problem
There aren't any new updates for for Windows 10 and I am going through google on all devices.
any ideas
I was having to restart it every few minutes when I was trying to communicate with a moderator just to post plant reports
Thanks for any help

I think I figured it out. The computer with the problem..... internet explorer on it
I stopped using that, voila !

IE: It's execrable!

I agree, I should have realized this sooner

I had this problem yesterday...the same new system message kept popping up. So the last time this happened, instead of clicking on the "new message," I clicked on "View past system message" and this action stopped the loop.

I kept trying that in the beginning, I thought it worked a couple of times but it only lasted till I switched to a new forum

Has been happening all day here.

Again today.

I'm looking into what might be causing this. It's hard because I haven't seen this happen at all that that makes it difficult for me to track it down, unfortunately.

Just a thought...

Many times the system is slow in recognizing my clicking of the thumbs up icon on a post. So...I'll click again, nothing, then click again. I'm wondering if the multiple clicking on the icon is causing multiple system message alerts?
