I, along with everyone else on Community Central, currently have 41 spam highlighted messages in our notifications.

I've reported this problem in the past, but a spambot has just highlighted the highlight problem.

All of the spam messages have been deleted (not just "removed"), but the notifications remain.

The notification system should be fixed so that notifications are automatically removed when a highlighted message is deleted.

Yes, I know I can click "Mark all as read", but even after clicking "Mark all as read", the notifications are still there, grayed out.

Also, I forgot to scroll down to see if there were any genuine notifications at the bottom of the list, and now I will never know.

edit: I've been informed that this was not the intended behaviour, and this problem has now been fixed. From here on out - when a highlighted forum thread is deleted, all user notifications about that thread will be deleted.

I like reporting bugs like this and helping make Wikia a better place for everyone.
