 * Latest version, messages in dashboard, great idea, but same issue as last update,
   they can’t be cancelled. I press the cross icon, they grey out, then reappear.
   I opened in a an Incognito window and did tried again but still nothing.

 * Dismiss doesn’t dismiss for me either. Which leaves me with two unwanted & unasked
   for red numbers on my dashboard that don’t bother to tell me why they’re there
   in the first place and don’t allow me to get rid of them,
 * Getting used to Yoast ignoring what I click on but also getting fed up with it
   as it gets in the way more than it helps.
 * I used to recommend Yoast when asked but no longer do so.

 * I’m currently trying All-In-One SEO because I’m getting tired of these things
   with Yoast.
 * I just want to edit tags – don’t need anything else.

 * [@trevord92](https://wordpress.org/support/users/trevord92/): you see us working
   in here, don’t you? Trying to fix this stuff? Please show a bit of courtesy. 
   I understand it’s frustrating, but this really doesn’t help.

 * Same observation as the original message in this topic, curiously though I see
   no js errors in the console. No php errors either.

 * I cannot dismiss the these suggestions either. I have about 40 sites. I click
   on the X the page dims and comes back with the messages and the red circle with
   a number. I would prefer this feature be removed.

 * Looks like 3.3.1 has changed the behaviour. Clicking the cross icon now clears
   the count of unread messages, I still have to click the link to find out whats
   new, which isn’t that obvious. If I see a cross I expect it to remove the item,
   not clear the count.
 * Still, at least the count is being updated in the admin bar as well, which is
   good 🙂
