7.2 B2 - User Notification Badges Nuked?

Missing notification badges so users now have to go into notifications in order to see how many they have. Downgrade in UX and easy to fix by adding the badge to the user menu and also adding it back to their profile circle.

It's hard to know what's a regression and what's intentitional.

How would impersionation work with the notifications? So at the moment in 7.0 the entire user icon and notification badge changes to who is impersonated. Now in 7.2 B2 I get two user icons would I get two badges also for notifcations (mine + the impersonated user?). Who is who is the two icons?

No, the impersonation sticker is just a visual aid to indicate the account is impersonated. It essentially replaces the asterisk from 7.1. The notifications badge will still belong to the impersonated user.

I would argue for the asterix to be put back and make the change in Liferay 8.

I am curious:
Does it matter to you, in which version something is changed? I mean, do you plan to upgrade to the 7.2 version?

I work as a consultant/implementor for various companies and most of our customers use a version for about 4 years. So, the companies where we implemented 7.0 will probably even skip 7.2. So, I tell my customers after 4 years, there were lots of changes, show them a few highlights and usually they accept these changes in a stride. Some have to be customized to look similar to the old design, but very often they are open to modernize/change things anyway.

And new customers obviously don't know the difference.

Continuity is important yes. Yes we're upgrading from 7.0 to 7.2. Our users do react to change but my role isn't to see these changes from my perspective. When I compare the changes I'm in the users perspective ... with it still being 7.x these radical changes should be phased in and switched on at Liferay 8.

We're in a situation where 7.0 is stable and there hasn't been a stable release of Liferay for 3 years. Where's the UAT, we are the UAT?
