Hi there - is there a way to stop notifications appearing that only tell you a new message has arrived, this is a pretty pointless notification since the iconsare next to each other.
Thanks

Thanks but No - thats not what i was asking.
I'm asking about the duplication of having a number icon appearing by the message envelope AND a new notification saying there's a message. This is redundant and makes the site look amateur hour. But thanks for the code snippet

Try navigate to:
Backend > Configuration > Privacy > Default User Email & Notifications
and turn OFF "Notification" for "New Private Messages".




After that, only "mailing envelope" icon should display new notification. Global notifications "earth icon" will not add new count.

this is a pretty pointless notification since the iconsare next to each other.

I agree. I suggest to remove this option (checkbox) from backend. Keep only "E-mail" notification.


Sorry for my English

Thanksfor that. The notification was turned off in the admin area for default settings , but the settings remain in the private preferences area on people's profile pages. Is there away to change existing users profiles from the central admin area?
