    Thanks for the screenshot, T-squared!

     

    I can see a "not now" option in the yellow notification there; can you click it and let us know if it helps?

Hey there T-squared - sorry to hear you're having issues with this.

 

Just to make sure we're on the same page, could you send us a screenshot of the symbol you mentioned so that we can have a look too?

 

Thanks!

Hi Walter

Many thanks for your resonse.

Now the icon is enlarged I can see it's not an exclamation mark, it's a figure "1". 

But here's a screen shot of the issue,

Cheers

      Thanks for the screenshot T-squared 

       

      Have you tried clicking on the  "not now/ show me how/ maybe later" option on the top banner of the app window when you click the app's icon to check your notifications?

        Sorry, walter, I can't see ther "not now/ show me how/ maybe later" options you mention anywhere.

        I've checked the Notifications and there are currently none.  DB tells me it's "up to date"

        Thanks again,

        TonyT
