If you go directly to the message in the menu it will clear the notification (the bell icon/number bubble on the upper right). If you go to your wall instead it may not clear, but in that case you can use the "Mark all as read" option at the bottom of the bell menu.

You may need to click away your "talk page" notification (bottom right of the screen bubble) once as that is a product of the changeover (you never went to the talk page because it was switched off). It won't appear again for any new messages.

It is really much easier to follow conversations if they are all in one place, and all participants will be notified to go back to the original conversation when it is updated, regardless of whose wall it is on.
