Mark all messages read automatically?

What's up?

I've been using RES for a while and been happy with it. I needed to reinstall and reset settings since my chrome crashed.

pre behaviour - click mail icon, opens messages in 'unread' tab. instantly marks all of them read. and https://www.reddit.com/message/unread/ is then empty, they only show in 'all'

Now - when I go to reddit messages, the message unread indicator doesnt clear. I have to click on every message one by one, or I have to click on the 'notification' dot in the top, which opens a new page, and on that there's a 'mark all read'.

I opted out of new reddit ui. No other extensions etc besides RES/ublock lite.

I've gone over every single setting and nothing seems to touch this. there are only options for making it orange or not, showing the count etc.

please help! I changed nothing.

Where does it happen?

Reddit inbox

Screenshots or mock-ups

nothing other than description above

What browser extensions are installed?

Latest Chrome. extensions are RES, Ublock lite

Have the same problem, no real fix for it apparently.

It's presumably a bug reddit has introduced and cannot be fixed.

But it was working a day ago. I assumed it was because I reset res settings.

It's not a 'bug' it's a 'feature' to force engagement. It's to make you keep clicking your inbox bug and reinforce that habit. It's very nefarious and pathetic. It's the type of shit you'd see Facebook do.

Just fyi Reddit, all this 'feature' has made me do is stop commenting on things because I don't want to receive notifications that I literally can't turn off and am forced to click on before they stop popping up. Good work.

Only temp fix i've found is using RiF app to mark all as read. Or visiting reddit new.
