Q&A Can't click notification icon

Clicking on the notification icon: Doesn't do anything. I noticed this just now. It's probably been a month or more since the last time I had a notification. Back then it worked as expected (...

  • Clicking on the notification icon:
  • <img src="https://meta.codidact.com/uploads/k4s4963aje2aq8mess48ocqo1tpy">
  • Doesn't do anything. I noticed this just now. It's probably been a month or more since the last time I had a notification. Back then it worked as expected (created a dropdown with individual notifications).
  • What happens now is absolutely nothing, as if I didn't click the mouse at all. I tried holding the mouse button down for a second. That didn't change anything.
  • I think the notification is for a new comment on the EE site, but clicking causes nothing to happen no matter which site I'm at, including here on meta.
  • <hr>
  • As a separate but related question, is there some way to see pending notifications other than clicking on the icon? I looked around in my profile but didn't see anything.

  • Monica said:
  • <blockquote>click in the white area below the number/text instead of directly on the icons.</blockquote>
  • That works. Thanks. I found that clicking above the number and icon also works. Apparently you have to click in the box, but not directly on the number or icon.
  • It's weird that I never ran afoul of this before. Of course as soon as it appeared not to work, I was extra careful to click in the middle directly on the icons.

Can't click notification icon
Clicking on the notification icon:

<img src="https://meta.codidact.com/uploads/k4s4963aje2aq8mess48ocqo1tpy">

Doesn't do anything.  I noticed this just now.  It's probably been a month or more since the last time I had a notification.  Back then it worked as expected (created a dropdown with individual notifications).

What happens now is absolutely nothing, as if I didn't click the mouse at all.  I tried holding the mouse button down for a second.  That didn't change anything.

I think the notification is for a new comment on the EE site, but clicking causes nothing to happen no matter which site I'm at, including here on meta.
