You should choose Preferences at the top of the page, and then you will see Notifications at the left. (Not Notifications at the top.) There will then be a button in the center that lets you turn them off No I didn’t skip it, yes that’s what I did, I’ve turned them off IN PREFERENCES twice, doublechecking the second time that I clicked to save changes, and I am STILL GETTING THEM. The button to dismiss is not in preferences, it’s in notifications, and no the button DOES NOT let you get rid of them. It says itself, if you hover, that all it does is mark them read. I don’t want to just mark them read. I want to delete them. And if I can’t delete them I want to stop getting them, because I’ll wind up with thousands of them. But if I could delete them then I would want to get them. And over in this thread [Possibility of turning off notifications of Awards? - #8 by thorny\_locust](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/possibility-of-turning-off-notifications-of-awards/912825/8) I’m being told that there’s no way whatsoever of getting rid of them. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/anyone-else-seriously-considering-leaving/911483)._
