Feature Request,
When I click on a notification item, especially when the notification comes from a reply from a thread I'm subscribed to, it would be awesome if the answer that generated that notification had a light yellow, blue (or some sort of highlight) background that would make it easy to find.
Sometimes, when threads get large, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack trying to find the reply that generated the notification.
A slight colored background on the reply will make it stand out, and make the thread easily scan-able.
This should only happen when you go to a thread via a notification item link.
Just a thought, thanks.

Treehouse TeacherI love this idea! Especially when the threads get rather long and your notification list is getting out of control

10,801 PointsYeah, they should make a feature so when you click on the post, it goes say from green to blue, and once you click that, it will go to the answer/comment , because scrolling a threat with a billion comments, it's difficult, and i usually just live it and don't even bother to go there.
Though, the best idea is to contact the support, or tag someone here, so they see this i suppose.

28,149 PointsMr Bond, that's not quite what I'm talking about. The notification list already kinda does that, when it's unread, it's a white background, when it's read, it has a gray background, I'm satisfied with that.
What I'm talking about is the forum thread itself.
For instance, here is what caused this. I got a notification I cleared this morning. Someone posted in this thread 1 day ago:
https://teamtreehouse.com/community/is-slim-compatable-with-localhost
Every other reply is from 1 year ago. When I clicked the notification to go to that thread, it would be awesome if that reply had a light yellow background indicating it was the reply that generated the notification. As it was, it took me about 20 seconds (cause I missed it the first time) of scanning the list trying to differentiate the 1 day vs all the others that say 1 y. It's lazy, but as a user I shouldn't have to work so hard to find the reply, and it would improve the UX in my opinion.

8,600 PointsMr Bond 007 when you click on your Notification drop down menu via the bell icon, you can then click on the word Notifications, which takes you to your notifications page at https://teamtreehouse.com/notifications where you can more easily navigate.
Kevin Korte I'm a fan of this idea. I'll pass this along as an enhancement request, but uncertain as to whey we would implement it.

28,149 PointsGreat Rob Allessi, just an idea for the whiteboard, thanks for the reply.

10,801 PointsNono, I'm not talking about that.
If you have one post, and on that post there are 10 answers/comments right? How do you know which one you read? You check one post, and the color changes. So if Person 1,2,3,4,5 wrote something on the same post, and I go on say person 3, I how do I know what posts I ddin't read? If there were 100answers, it woudl be good to tell where I clicked and what i have read, as well as maybe an option to mark in the threat that you read all.
If that makes sense.

10,801 PointsYep, exactly what I was thinking. It's soo hard to navigate throw the notifications when you have 10+ of them, you get lost and I know that I missed many answers, and not only that way because I just couldn't find my way around them there were soo many of them. I don't think I/we should get punished because of a bad design, well, bad .. I can't tell what's new what's not, what i read etc.. they should take or look at an example other sites have.
