So you know that little bell in the upper right corner, my notifications? Mine's funky. What I mean is that if I click on it sometimes a box opens up displaying my last 3 notifications, some comment to a forum thread I'm following. It looks like this:
But sometimes, on particular webpages in dndbeyond, that little box doesn't drop down when I click on the bell. Sometimes I'm sent to My Notifications. And not in a new window like I made that link.
It's annoying. I've checked most of the main pages in the menu and get this behavior on the following pages:
I've noticed this myself if I try to ding the bell while on a character sheet. Used to be that only happened when I had the browser text zoomed in, but even adjusting the zoom level to 100% and both ways from there it still goes to My Notifications when I click the bell while on a character sheet.
(Annoying, since I usually just want to ding the bell to clear the notif count while on a sheet instead of following to a forum post...)
Edit: On the other hand, now I can zoom in to 120% on forum posts and click the bell to show the recent notifs without following to the Notif page, so, my eyes that badly need an exam thank the DDB team for that! Though 133% still does the follow thing.
Edit2: 133% is the point at which the top menu bar starts to need to split "Game Rules" and "New Player Guide" across 2 lines, while still displaying the menus as a horizontal bar. That may have something to do with how the coding for the recent notifs reacts.
It also happens when the page hasn't finished loading. I'm not sure what parts of what commands are where in the page syntax for 'execute hover dropdown' vs 'follow link,' but it's thrown me off on slower-loading days.
