Hello! I'm not entirely sure if this fits in feedback or suggestions, because it's a little bit of both. Since it's a suggestion on an existing feature, I thought I should put it here in the feedback category.
On the legacy site, when I have events/notifications, they appear in the sidebar by category and I can dismiss either individual notifications or an entire category of notifications without leaving the page I'm currently on. This makes it really easy to scan what's happened since I last logged on and what tasks I should complete. For instance, things like shop sales, forum replies or tags or new posts, pets finishing training, comments from other users, gifts received, shop buffs received or wearing off, achievements received, etc.
I would really like to also have that on Kumos. Currently, I do get events in the sidebar, but:
Beyond just nostalgia for old-school-style web pages, I have really avoided using Kumos largely because the notifications are so frustrating. I would really love to see the way notifications are categorized, displayed, and dismissed reflect how they do on the legacy site (and would love if dismissing on the legacy site also transferred to Kumos or vice versa).
Thank you for reading this feedback/suggestion, and thank you for all the work you're doing on Kumos!
This is great feedback, thank you!
I've pushed an update that addresses the main points:
Events are now grouped by category in both the sidebar and the full Events page. Instead of a flat list, you'll see groups like "Auctions", "Quests", "Forum Mentions", "Training Center", etc.
You can dismiss entire categories - Each category header now has an X button that marks all events of that type as read at once. No more clicking through dozens of individual forum notifications!
The sidebar shows up to 2 events per category with a count of how many more there are, so you can quickly scan what's happened and decide which categories matter to you.
Forum events got a big upgrade - Instead of everything being lumped together as "Notifications", forum events are now split into:
Training Center and Cash Shop events also have their own categories now.
Still on the TODO list:
Give it a try and let me know how it feels!

Amazing! So fast, too!! Thank you so much. I'll see how it works as my events pop up the next few days. :-)
Hi , I have an update! The sidebar does show category now, but the events overall are not displaying correctly on Kumos.
On Legacy, my notifications are currently:
When I check on Kumos, the sidebar shows:
When I click the view all events link, it takes me to the Event History page that displays:
I haven't dismissed any notifications on the legacy site, so they should be showing on Kumos. It seems likely it was also doing this incorrectly before you pushed the update, but I didn't catch it because I was dismissing notifications on legacy first and then not seeing that reflected on Kumos, rather than also trying the other way around.
Which then led me to a maybe separate but maybe related issue on the Event History page - When I click "Refresh," I get a pop-up for a Livewire Internal Servor Error. At the top of the pop-up, the text reads:
There is also a button to copy the coding of the error, and I can provide the code if you need. I don't know if it's coding specific to me getting the error or something that pops up the same if you replicate the error on your account.
I know you said syncing dismissed notifications to legacy is a deeper task that you'll have on your to do list, but I thought this is useful information for when you get there!
