- I think it's worth showing in some way that there are multiple of each type of notifications - for instance, that there are four new comments in a single thread. It more clearly indicates what's new and what you need to catch up on.
Maybe it'd be best to collapse notifications in such a way that you are shown a (3) in your inbox, but if you open it up it'll show "there are three new comments in this thread". So you could have a (7) in your inbox, but your inbox contents themselves would show "you have two new comments in this thread", "five new comments in another thread", and "two new answers to your post".- I don't know how easy this would be from a development point of view, but I think that'd be the best of both worlds.
