Have you considered running this slider mod, no issues:

Is anyone else having issues with the text not showing up on some parts? Like my atatched image?

I've tried all sorts but I'm feeling defeated.

Try default theme, see if that is the issue.

Development is now ongoing for v.6.0
Among the listed updates coming, we have about 3-4 big features built into notifications coming not listed. Stay tuned.

It must be in the CSS surely

Inspect the element in chrome then locate the css

that's what I thought and have been trying to do.

From what I can see this is the CSS which controls it -

li.livenotifications_link {
background: {vb:stylevar sidebar_content_background.backgroundColor};
color: {vb:stylevar link_color};
display: block !important;
font-weight: regular;
font-size: {vb:stylevar header_font};
font-family: Arial,Calibri,Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;
min-height: 20px;
text-align: center !important;
padding-top:6px !important;
cursor: pointer;
width:330px;

Even if I put !important it's not making any difference.

I have found the stylevar for the link colour and it's a valid colour - #00a1c3

even if I change it to #00a1c3 instead of the style var and add !important it's still not showing.

Unless I'm editing the compeltely wrong bit of CSS. other than the above I'm stumped.

I'm using firebug.

Ok I fixed it. It was because the header font was empty for some reason. Once I inputed a font type and size it showed up :)

2 more feature requests:
- Send emails for notifications.
- Notification setting grid similar to facebook. (to allow users to set for which events they want to receive notifications on-site, per email)

We had this as well. Increasing the time frame did not help. Reuploaded files, installed and reinstalled fresh several times and still a performance issues over the previous version. Could not use it. 3.0 works flawlessly.

I've noticed this and ive got it checking at 35 seconds.

But when using the site it freezes for a second or two every 35 seconds ish.
