Clearing notifications on phone

Since downloading the latest upgrade to the app on my iPhone, I can't figure out how to "clear" notifications (the number in the red bubble next to the app's pic). They just keep accumulating. How can I clear them? Thanks!

Great temporary fix thanks!

I can't get rid of mine either and it is hurting my brain. I tried turning off notifications and it not showing new ones but I still have a bajillion that won't clear.

Looking forward to a fix for this. I thought it was my simpledom for using technology.

Me too! I thought about turning notifications off all together since I get emails when someone replies to a topic I've participated in. So annoying!

On the new app there is a little star. It's yellow if you have participated, if you click the star it will turn off the notifications for that post.

Thanks! The annoying part is though that I've only participated in 10-15 topics, but the red icon on the app itself (for iPhones anyway) says that I have 69 notifications. Every day it grows. But when I go into the app I can't find anywhere that 69 things are trying to get my attention. I don't know if this is what everyone else is talking about, but that's what I'm dealing with. post-270833-14568709102955_thumb.jpg

@@RoadToMe that's how many people that have liked your post or quoted what you've posted. On the opening page there is 3 lines to the top right of the screen. If you click that and go down to notifications and select the "bell" it should clear that number.

eTA. You can also turn off notifications in your app settings on you phone.

Ohh! I didn't know that's what it was. Thanks! I did try that but it didn't take the number away so I kept the notifications on but just turned off the badge app icon(the red indicator). Thanks for your help
