When logging into the site, the Alert icon shows the number of alerts as in the prior version. However, after expanding it and visiting one of the posts and then hitting the back button, the number of alerts is no longer displayed. The prior version of the system would continue to display the number of alerts until the session was logged out, and I found that more helpful. It would be even better for me if the alert counter would drop by one after visiting one of the posts show in the alert list.
