Notifications added

[joshuar]

We have now added notifications to the welcome area on the forum, whenever you get a new notification, the Private Messages section will change to a notifications dropdown menu.

However for those of you scared of change (---MAD--- for example ) can disable this funky feature by going to your User CP options (here) and in the Messages & Notifications section will be a Show Notifications? Yes/No option for it

After the endless trauma of the problems with the notifications, I believe it should now be FIXED.

This is how they should function...
Show Notifications? set to 'Yes'
You will see this most of the time:

Welcome, joshuar.
You last visited: Yesterday at 10:44 PM
Private Messages: Unread 0, Total 1359.

When you get a new notification it will then change into something like:

Welcome, joshuar.
You last visited: Yesterday at 10:44 PM
Notifications: 2

Clicking on Notifications will allow a drop down, allowing you to see what you are being notified about.

Show Notifications? set to 'No'
It will be just how you are used to it:

Welcome, joshuar.
You last visited: Yesterday at 10:44 PM
Private Messages: Unread 0, Total 1359.

Meaning that it will not change to a notifications menu, it will only show PMs.

EVERYBODY IS SET TO 'YES' BY DEFAULT, YOU MUST CHANGE THIS YOURSELF BY GOING TO YOUR USER CP -> EDIT OPTIONS -> SHOW NOTIFICATIONS?

If you believe it is functioning wrong please post in the Bug Tracker with what the problem is, and what your Show Notifications? is set to and it will be looked into.

Thanks for your patience during this painful period
