Screenshot. Don't recall ever seeing that before. Something new?

Never had it myself.
Inspect element shows that it's pending notifications in 'unseen activities'.

I don't know what any of that means. I tried clicking on it (just the purple dot) but can't, it instead acts as though I'm clicking on "OLDFATGUY" and takes me to my library... where this brand new purple dot remains.

Geez, it took them years to fix the purple dot related to forum replies... now we've got a brand new full time purple dot resident? Or... maybe it's just me??? (Firefox here, if that matters.)

It's the GOG watching you dot. Your on their hit list of users. ;)

Das ist le purple dot.


Anyway, isn't it related to activity on your profile page or something?

Guess I'll have to add some new armor, perhaps when I loot my next dead enemy I'll find some kevlar. Might need it. Well, if that's the case, I don't even know how to view my profile, much less perform any activity on it lol.

Cliiiiick iiiiit.

There should be "Activity feed" and "Your profile" links in the menu with your nickname next to the purple dot.

When I Cliiiiick iiiiit, it just takes me to my Games Library. I've clicked it about a dozen times now.

This. Most probably one of your mutual friends (You have 3 online in screenshot) received an achievement.

Do you mean the drop down menu shown in the screenshot? I see no such options. Am I misunderstanding what you mean to click on?

Well that's a flagrant different between our experiences then, because it has always taken me to my profile and NOT the library. Ink's advice is better than mine anyway.

Counter-ninja edit: That settles it then, your account is actually defective. Demand a refund for the free profile.

It means that someone responded to one of your forum posts. Quoted you.

Well, I think I know what the problem is. It's bugged. I have my profile disabled and yet that menu randomly displays the links and behaves as if I had it enabled.

Edit: The links:

This one is different. When you quoted me in this very post, I had TWO purple dots. lol One next to community and one next to OLDFATGUY. Never seen the one next to OLDFATGUY before today. At least I don't remember seeing one there before. This is a different purple dot than the one we get when quoted in the forums. Who knew there was more than one purple dot lol...
