Alerts and updates

Read your notifications

Find the bell, open the full list, and act on what DCAST is telling you.

1
Look at the bell in the top bar. A red badge on it counts your unread notifications, up to nine plus.
2
Click the bell. The drop-down lists your unread notifications, the newest first.
3
Click a notification to open what it is about — the payment, the video, the ticket. Opening it also marks it as read.
4
Open the full page for everything, including what you already read: go to Notifications from the account menu.
5
Every entry carries a coloured category tag: Security, Payment, Subscription, Content, Social or System.
6
Unread entries are highlighted with a coloured edge and a dot, so they stand out from the rest.
7
Use the pages at the bottom of the list to go further back in time.

You have seen every notification waiting for you, and the badge on the bell reflects what is genuinely still unread.

The drop-down only holds unread notifications. Open the full Notifications page to see everything.

The count refreshes on its own about every half minute. Reload the page if it still disagrees with the list.

Not every message points somewhere — some are pure information. It is still marked as read.
