Hmm... That was unexpected. It certainly puts a wrinkle in the idea put forth so far. Such an idea needs to cater to all sorts of crowds.

How many of those notifications are relevant to you beyond simply "to be read"?

A thread-specific notifications menu would perhaps be beneficial if the number of notifications exceeds [i]n[/i], but until it reaches that point, then it would only be cluttering to have a menu. The size of [i]n[/i] would of course be up for discussion, but even so, this would probably be semi-complex to code.

For now though, we'd think it would be easier to simply have the notifications stay just on the notifications page. But this idea is still worth discussing.
