Please allow customization of the green dot notifications on My Store and My
BL.

These green dot represents a call to action, however improperly notifying a user
of an action to perform causes them to ignore the green dot notification.

Example, I package an order on Saturday afternoon, I cannot ship until Monday
morning. The green dot provides a call to action to mark the package as shipped.
I can't, it is Saturday afternoon and there is no mail service. If go ahead
and mark the package as shipped, two things then happen.

1. The buyer immediately receives a green dot call to action notification to
mark the package as received.
Well, how can they? It is Saturday afternoon and the next mail service will
not run until Monday. So now for until at least Monday, the green dot notification
is completely useless.

2. Next if I mark the order as shipped on a Saturday afternoon, I immediately
get the green dot call to action notification to send the drive thru notification.
When I do this the buyer will get notified that I shipped the package....but
I didn't ship package because it is Saturday afternoon. There is no mail
service until Monday morning. So I send the drive thru notification on a Saturday
afternoon I am not being truthful to the buyer as I have stated that the package
has been shipped. (BTW BL's default drive thru states that the package has
been shipped).

The ability to turn on of off the notifications or provide a time lag of the
notifications would be greatly appreciated and make them useful.

Thank you,
Cob

No change in setting turns them off.

I believed both green dots meant I was logged in.

The change has been made, the green dot notifications now follow "My Action Item
Settings". Thank you BrickLink!!

Also I like the redesign of the store settings. I am looking forward to finding
other new updates.
