Article User - Notifications : Configuration

Description

Purpose

 This widget allows you to specify whether to show member applicable notifications on the desktop, in slide-out messages, (additionally to the default Notification Queue); how long to display the desktop messages, and how many items to display in the Queue within a seven-day limit. You can't use this configuration to change the appearance of the notifications. To do this, you'd need to edit the widget or theme.
