Message notifications

Why do I not receive a notification that I have a message waiting for me to read?

Do you have to turn something on?

Nothing to turn on.  The notification disappears once you have viewed any notifications.

 

i have sent you a message that says test.

Click on the notification bell, that's what mine looks like using a phone, then select notification settings. You can work through them to check your settings.

Test received thanks.

By coincidence, it was actually a message from you (John Luke) that you sent me almost two weeks ago that I read today for the first time. I was anticipating a message from another BM and came across the one you sent me by chance.

If this was the first time I read your message, and it definitely was, why did the notification turn itself off if I had not previously opened the message?

I was actually feeling guilty for my apparent rudeness in not replying to you. 😀

Eureka!

It was set on "sound a bell" and not "show a pop-up window."

Problem solved - thanks. 😀
