The little purple button keeps showing up in the top bar of GoG, indicating that there was some kind of forum reply to a thread i was part of. But there is never anything there.

It's a well known bug that seems to have gotten worse lately. Use this to fix it:-

Ah, the purple ball, as someone called it a few days ago. It kinda grew on me, not bothered anymore.
Here, have a read.

I bet a troll found an exploit.
Thanks for the info guys :)

Looks like this bug is around for 3 years at this point .. cool.

As a workaround, could GoG not simply make the "clear notifications" button visible regardless of there being a PM ?
Oh well.

You may need to run that fix every time you get a forum reply. It's only in the last two months it has got that bad.
People keep linking the command but it no longer solves it unfortunately. The dot comes back very soon after you run it.

The command still seems to work in removing it, it's just that GOG forums (that used to only show the dot temporarily after someone replied to your comments then cleared it upon viewing that thread) now get "stuck" in never clearing it at all no matter how many times you view the related reply. So it keeps coming back near constantly.

It’s been like this since galaxy released. It will never get fixed, nor will anything else on the site. The only concern is getting galaxy installed on as many machines as possible.

A bit more than three years. It depends on how active you are. Soon you'll probably find forum replies to occasionally not work. I'm at the point that it's just a shrine to GOG bear and faulty hiring practices that require you to drop everything and move to Poland.
