I went into v3 today, and up at the top by the bell, it said I have 20 alerts to attend to. I thought this was strange as in v2, I only had one or two. I clicked on the first alert, read through, but the bell still said 20 alerts. I read through a few more with the bell still saying 20, and then suddenly, the number 20 disappeared. I had not read 20 pages yet, so I was quite surprised. When I came back to v2, there was only 1 or 2 alerts similar to when I left.
Is the number of unread Alerts displayed by the bell in v3 completely capricious?
Some of the phantom alerts date from five weeks ago, and I've already looked at those pages once. I can see them when I first go to v3, but once I click through the first few, the remaining ones disappear.
