It's been like this for years (EDIT: As in having ghost messages). The servers just take some time to catch up.

The 0 messages bubble is a different story. This is the first I've seen reports of it.

Sometimes I recieve a message, however it's actually a message I got from a few minutes/hours ago.
Anyone experiencing this?

If you are having this bug, please discuss about it here, no making a new topic about it.
Yeah, if it's in a Scratch 3.0 page the message takes some time to dissapear, but I've also had a situation where on a random 2.0 page like My Stuff, I'd just get 4 messages and when I clicked there was nothing.

Also, just remember that, I'm fairly certain when you get muted, and go to a 2.0 page, it says 1 message but there are actually none.

I have never had the wrong message count in my stuff. Ever. This is weird………

…I guess I should consider having a message that literally says 0 a ghost message

A scratcher: *logs in to their account*

Scratch servers:
(yamete kudasai) SEND HIM A MESSAGE NOTIFICATION BUT NOT AN ACTUAL MESSAGE

The scratcher that logged in to their account a few picoseconds ago: *recieves message notification*

The navigation bar on the version 2.0 homepage shows 2 new notifications even though there are 0.

That's right.
This bug can occur on the Scratch 2.0 design page.
It's already clear that the API used on the Scratch 2.0 design page is causing some kind of problem.
Is there any new information?

HI!! I'm back, and i want to say that… Unfortunately i still have ghost notifications, this time it shows me 1 inestad of 26-38…

And remember: Scratch may fix it on some time but for a long time! (not sure)
Have a nice day!
