Board Game Arena

I've been having the same problem, in every game. I posted about it previously but devs don't seem to care.

I have notifications in my profile, but when I click on it it says "2 new notifications", and I click that link and the last notification was from 6 days ago. Is there a way to mark a notification as 'read'? I feel that when you view a notification, it should go away, rather than stay ther...

For some time now, every game I start is automatically set to Training mode, and I have to remember to change it to Normal mode. it's very annoying, and I can't find a setting to turn it off. Does anyone know how to fix this?
