Hi there! 😊 I know how annoying this is—seeing "3 unread notifications" but not being able to see them. Happens to me sometimes too! Here’s the fix: Just open GitHub in an incognito window (Chrome: Ctrl+Shift+N, Firefox: Ctrl+Shift+P, Safari: Cmd+Shift+N). Log in, go straight to your notifications page , and you’ll magically see them! ✨ Why? Sometimes your regular browser gets "stuck" with old data. Incognito mode gives GitHub a fresh start—like shaking out a crumpled map! 🗺️ Once you see them, click the ⋮ (three dots) next to each notification and hit "Mark as done". Poof—gone! You’re all set! If it still acts up, just reply here—I’ll help you sort it out. 😄 (P.S. If this clears the mystery, marking it as accepted helps others stuck like you! 🌟) |

I've the same problem, since I got spammed via issues. They got automatically removed by Github, and I can't mark them as read. |

Hi! 👋 This might be a caching issue or a bug with how GitHub is displaying notification counts. Here are a few steps you can try to resolve it:
If none of this works, it may be a backend issue on GitHub's side. In that case, you can report it directly via GitHub Support |
