As designed Click to Dismiss Notification

[Sadik B]

The new notifications are cool!

I saw the Welcome to XF 1.5 notice, with click here for more details. I clicked it and got to the HYS thread. Again I see the Welcome to XF 1.5 notice, click here for more details! Now... Didn't I click that already.... Ok click again, same page! Then I realize oh you have to dismiss it (and the top right cross wasn't visible until I moved my mouse on it).

So either

a> When someone clicks on the link inside the notification, the notification should be auto-dismissed

OR

b> At the very least, the page which the notifications links to (if inside xenforo) should not show the notification.

These aren't really bugs. They are just how it works, and, ultimately the same way Notices have always worked.

I would say that auto dismissing on click would be bad and unexpected in various cases. Page based limits aren't really viable either. Bear in mind that the content in a notice is totally arbitrary, potentially having multiple links, etc.
