+Pieman Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 I have a yellow dot against a specific two message thread with another cacher that I have read multiple times without clearing the dot. I have tried reinstalling the app but this didn't solve it. Any ideas? I know it's not related to souvenirs or drafts as it is against a specific thread and in any case I have no drafts and have viewed all souvenirs in the app. Quote Link to comment

Mine has remained thru updates. I've gotten used to always seeing the yellow dot, which makes its purpose as a notification tool worthless. 1 Quote Link to comment

+endeavour3 Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 I too have this problem with a permanent yellow dot against a message that I have read multiple times on multiple devices. And this problem occurs on both my iPhone & iPad. Nothing I do will make it go away. At least I know that deleting & re-installing the app will not fix this problem. Quote Link to comment
+NightFall806 Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 I thought the yellow dot goes away when you respond to a message or read the massage. Quote Link to comment

Normally, it does. The issue is that for some, the yellow dot persists at all times. Quote Link to comment
+Just_Matt Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 (edited) My permadot is for a souvenir. It appeared at the start of the Mystery at the Museum challenge and has remained ever since, despite opening it, uninstalling/reinstalling and everything else I can think of. It disappears when I access the souvenir page through the app but reappears with the message Souvenirs (New) every time I go back. It's a minor annoyance but annoying all the same.

+Border Caz Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 It isn't there on my PC but is on the app on my phone. Hate the geocaching app. Usually use c;geo instead as it's much more user friendly. Quote Link to comment
+DE_Cryptoman Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 I too had a permanent yellow dot. It was on a message I sent to a fellow cacher. It would not go away. About a month and half later, I had the opportunity to send another message to same cacher. Once I sent that second message, the yellow dot disappeared. 1 Quote Link to comment

I went thru every message to make sure they were all marked as read, and the yellow dot remained. You give me hope that one day if I exchange a message with the right person, the dot will disappear. ? 1 Quote Link to comment
+Axon51 Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 I have the same problem with a persisting yellow dot.... and I‘m waiting for a solution by geocaching.com 1 Quote Link to comment
+Skippy_31 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Have you tried not just reading the message but 'touching'/'hitting' it? I have experienced these dots as well, but touching the message and wiping the page/message up and down usually solved the issue. Quote Link to comment
