Topic on Talk:Notifications

There was a bug in how it worked in IE, phab:T142042; this is now fixed.

The notifications Project page informs me, "When someone takes an action that affects you on a Wikimedia site, colored badges will appear next to your user name, in the top right corner of any page of that site". I would laove to see this, but - in IE, only a 5x5 cm gray badge overlays the navigation menu

and makes it unusable. E.g., the wrong praragraph ending above results from avoinding the space of that badge, since I cannot continue typing there. And the wrong capitalization was created by the Editor I am forced to use here.

What can I do to get the control back from the Software to me?

Comparing to Firefox, I can see that the two Little badges on the navbar are displayed ith very large size on top of each other and the text.

That sounds like a bug in the recent changes to the badge design. Could you upload a screenshot of what the badges look like for you in IE, and tell us which version of IE you're using?

...never mind, I think I've found it: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T142042

I forgot to say this yesterday: this should be fixed now. Thanks for reporting!
