Ashley,
I would definitely raise a ticket with Blackboard about this as Simon
suggests.
Have you tried to clear the notifications within the course - assuming
it has a module page and you have a what's new module deployed? This
should start with the subset of notifications just pertaining to the
course in question. We have found that sometimes this gets you below the
critical limit (we found it to be nearer 100) and so you can clear them
here, which also removes them from the list shown for all courses on the
Notifications tab.
Malcolm.

Subject: Bb9.1 What's New module not clearing
Hello all,
Can anyone advise on this issue I am experiencing (see image). On our
Bb9.1 test install the What's New module on the Notifications tab won't
clear/dismiss all. I've added other items (assignments. tests) and they
have all appeared then disappeared as you would expect but the
Discussion Board one won't clear. It has quite a few items in it, which
looks like I'll have to visit each one (>560 visits) to clear
it.....which is ridiculous.
I was planning to demonstrate this wonderful new feature to staff
(University wide) and the Student Union Representatives but I don't
think i will if this can't be resolved.
Anyone got a solution?
With best wishes,
