Additional info : use for Notifications Popup

This notice effect to who use Notifications Popup. In forum that Administrator enable Pop up a Notification Box When a Private Message is Received for all users and now use the integrated features to replace it, there is a troubling is that both systems work together.
I have a solution to help you overcome this problem, see the instructions below and perform :

1. Open config.php file, go to the location (usually line 126) :
   
   PHP Code:

   $config['SpecialUsers']['canrunqueries'] = ''; 

   Enter in '' your administrator id (usually you), eg :
   
   PHP Code:

   $config['SpecialUsers']['canrunqueries'] = '1'; 

2. Save and update to old file.
3. In AdminCP, go to : Maintenance -> Execute SQL Query.
   At Automatic Query select : No - Pop up a Notification Box When a Private Message is Received and click Continue.
4. Continue with : Confirm Query Execution click Continue.
5. When successful, you will see : Affected Rows: XX (XXXs), click Restart to complete.

Good luck !
