New Notifications & Emails linking to old posts.

All the emails and notifications on site I have been receiving recently say they are new, but when opened am directed to a post way back.
I have double checked all my settings & everything seems good to me.
Is there a problem, if not how can I stop this from happening?
For instance (Refer Pic) I have received emails & notifications directing me to this same post maybe 4 to 5 times now.

Hi Woodyz, sorry about the notifications. We're currently doing upgrades and fixes on the site which includes enabling and disabling certain features. When the features (like notifications) are tweaked with, it'll cause a notification to come up for older posts, like explained here Old notifications problem.

Sorry again for the annoyance!

I got a lot of issues since last update.

I click on the red box to go to the latest post and it leads me to an old post.

I come back and the "new message" red icon is back, and when I click it I end up to another old post. it didn't take into consideration that I clicked the icon

it seems something is broken here

Hi Jimmy
Can you give us an update as to where we are at with this issue...perhaps an ETA, as this issue has become VERY annoying with every email link & every Notifications link redirecting but probably far more annoying for you.

Site update status

Site status update!

Hey bro, thanks for putting up with the issues. The new backend has been finished and will be migrated this Friday 31st during our off-peak time.

Forex-station will be down for an hour or two (site will not appear at all) but once it's back it'll be updated, look a bit better and load even faster without these niggly issues.

After the site is online we'll still need to tweak a few things and wait for your feedback on any annoyances or issues (hopefully there's none)!

If you're into site building, the reason why the notifications are playing up is because we had to downgrade to Php 7.1 to fix our Apache issue which was causing the whole site to "hang" most likely due to the millions of notifications in queue which was caused by an outdated forum version and some naughty bots.

Are you able to clear the notifications? Or do they keep on coming back?

Jimmy every new email link & all new Notification links are still redirecting.
How do I clear all the notifications. I have all notifications marked as read & that seems to be all that l can do
