Hi Jonathan,

Thanks for writing in with your observations on our notification system! We are always working to add features that improve our site, and we love getting input from our community.

I've passed your feedback along to the team and it will be part of our conversation as we plan the future of Khan Academy. I do believe it is a feature that would definitely improve the experience for our users.

As a small team, we can't give you a timeline or guarantee this feedback will be taken into consideration anytime soon - but rest assured it is in the right hands right now.

Thanks again for your interest in improving Khan Academy :)

All the best,

Alex

Yeah, I've encountered this same thing. I thought it was a bug.

As part of our Support Community improvement project, we’re preserving inactive posts that have historical or community value and closing them to new comments. This is one of them!

If this post covers a topic that you’re interested in discussing with the community or requests a feature you’d like to see on Khan Academy, you can try to find an active post about it and add your thoughts (or feel free or create a new post if it doesn’t yet exist in the forum).
