Here's a suggestion for the forum: Give the "notifications" tab a "reset" button that marks all the notifications as seen wihtout the need to jump to a profile to view them in order to get them out of the "alert" up there.
Or better yet, make notifications, be it a red point, a post quote, or what all there are, link straight to the source.
EG.
(capital letters symbolising a link to the source)
Notifications 5:
X gave a red point to a POST YOU MADE
Y QUOTED a POST YOU MADE
Y gave thanks to a POST YOU MADE
You recieved a new ACHIEVEMENT
Your ASS IS ON FIRE
