@hypolite The temporary change was literally just me commenting out lines 136-167 of src/Module/Notifications/Ping.php. The larger change I was talking about would be to add a toggle button that would do the same thing with an if statement like what I did with the group level unread counters. For my server the top level one alone is/was a substantial amount of my database usage. If the flag is always there and is always 999+ after 10 minutes then it really doesn't add any value to me but it is causing a lot of DB work.
