I see that has been a change in notification behaviour since my last version (6.9.2) which made it so that the in browser notifications would auto-close

I have found the setting which says if you set it to 0 they should not auto-close, which I have done, but I still have no notifications visible in the morning (I used to always have at least 1 often 5 or 6)

Does this setting set to 0 mean that notifications should actually remain visible? If so, why might mine not be?

Or does it not work that way and they are actually always meant to be hidden behind that bell icon (where I eventually found them all) even with it set to 0?

Thanks

Do you have the Connect plugin installed? The notifications are now controlled by the API.

Ah, no. I do not

Just to check, it is this kind pf notification I am referring to

Do you still need Connect for that?

No, those are the old-style notifications, since they have been deprecated, I'm not sure if it's worth trying to figure out the issue. You can try the new style, by installing Connect or updating to 7.2.0-rc.1, they will always auto-close, though, but you can see old ones in the "archive" section.

Are there any active/obvious notifications of critical things like disk failures? Or do you now have to go manually check for everything?

You can (and should, IMHO) activate an email/agent notification for the level(s) you want.

OK, thanks.

Sorry for all the questions - I'm just trying to understand how it now works....
