This update fixes a critical badge issue and introduces new features.

🔧 Badge Issue Fixed
The red notification badge and counter now disappear instantly when visitors or users click the alert icon. In previous versions, the badge remained visible even after alerts were viewed. This has been fully resolved for both guests and logged-in users.

✨ Total Alert Count
The popup header now displays the total number of sticky alerts.

⚡ XenForo 2.3.x Compatibility
All template structures have been updated to meet the latest XenForo 2.3.x standards.
  • Fixed issues where sticky alerts incorrectly affected the notification badge count.
  • Resolved the issue where "0" was displayed on the badge when there were no active alerts.
  • NEW: Sticky alerts now automatically clear from the unread count once viewed in the menu (aligning with default XenForo behavior).
  • NEW: Improved sorting logic; newest sticky alerts now appear at the top of the list by default unless a custom display order is set.
  • Fixed visual glitches (fouc) with the notification counter during page loads and refreshes.

This update significantly improves the user experience (UX) of the add-on.

Your sticky alerts now work seamlessly with XenForo's native notification flow. When users open the alerts menu and view your announcements, the persistent red badge automatically clears, ensuring a non-intrusive experience, while your important announcements remain accessible in the list.

Additionally, the sorting logic has been refined to automatically display your latest announcements at the top. Minor bugs have been fixed for a more stable and smoother performance.
