Two editors, Risker and Matanya, are reporting that they cannot get the yellow "You have new messages" indicator to disappear, even after directly visiting their usertalkpage. I confirmed with Matanya that these were the steps he followed: * You get a talkpage message. * You visit your talkpage (via any method: either a direct link, or clicking on a notification). * The yellow "You have new messages" text does not disappear. Onwiki discussion is at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Notifications#Why_do_I_have_no_notifications_but_a_.22you_have_messages.22_banner.3F
Ori did a quick check in the database for me, and noted that there was not a row for Risker in the user_newtalk table, which is what generates the OBOD/yellow thingy, so I suspect there's some caching issue. Can Risker and Matanya try a hard refresh and clear their browser cache? Does it go away then?
Yes crtl+shift+R on firefox clears it.
