I see numbers beside the bell. I click on the bell and see a list of links to posts. Some are not shaded; some are shaded in one color toner; some are shaded in a different color tone.
What's up with notifications? Can I disable them if I find I don't use them? I ask because I suspect that the count will increase forever if I ignore the bell.

Re: Notifications Bell: How Does It Work
Go to Notification options in your User Control Panel. There are check boxes for various options, such as 'Someone quotes you in a post' and 'Someone sends you a private message'. Clear the ones you don't want notifications for.
You can mark notifications as read in Manage notifications. There is a handy link 'Mark all notifications read'; this will clear the number next to the bell.

Re: Notifications Bell: How Does It Work
Thanks, Hans.
Not having visited the UCP for a full review since the upgrade, I didn't know those notification options existed. The old gray (grey) matter is not as functional as it used to be.

Re: Notifications Bell: How Does It Work
There are more options in this version, and the notification system works differently (no popup window).
Best wishes,
