Hello,
I have a couple of questions relating to this issue:
• Do the notifications disappear if you close and then reopen the forum / go from one subforum (eg, Bugs) to another?
• Do you have the checkbox at the top of the forum notifications box ticked, or not? Having it ticked means that your latest forum notifications will always be there even if you've read them - if you un-tick it, notifications will disappear once you've read the respective thread.
• Occasionally, visual issues such as this one can be fixed by clearing the game's cache, however this may not be useful for this problem.
Thank you. :)
