the manage notification entry in the options has a blank right hand side info pane,but I'm guessing you new that already

Yeah, I haven't gotten to that yet - as well as help for the settings.

The manage notification control panel might be nice to take you straight to the subscription page

That's planned. Also opening to the PMs, and possibly going straight to the post. I'll have to work out the logic for when to do what. Obviously if you have just 1 new subscription post or 1 new PM it's a no brainer, but if you have 5 subscription posts and 3 PMs on diffrent forums, it's more complicated. I'll probably have to make some dialogs and some settings for preferences and such.

Is the manage notification control panel a master override to the settings, so the setting sets the finer things up, and the control panel via the context button switches it of & on, along with the "Turn on / off notifications" in the options page also so in fact there one and the same?

Both toggling the on/off the green indicator in the Manage Notifications dialog and toggling using the "Turn on/off Notifications" item in the options menu do the same thing, which is toggle notifications for the selected/current forum. The settings option enables/disables notifications entirely, and if it is disabled when XBMC starts, the background service will not run.

Just out of curiosity was the missing image files to do with the manage notification control panel (mncp)
as I seem to remember an incomplete badge or two, but now they look fine.

The images used for fading the logo and logo background under the title didn't make it into the zip.

The non focus error hasn't shown itself since early on.
When It happened before, the xbmc.org website had downtime
which I was able to confirm by typing into google " is xbmc.org down" a web page did a check and it said it was,
so this might be the problem, as it was in the process of logging in at the time, as I had switched FB skin & was restarting FB

I'm going to switch to Transparency! skin I'll let you know how I get on.....

By the way when FB lost focus I tried restarting XBMC and FB still loaded non focused I couldn't get rid, I uninstalled it via XBMC re-installed, but it was still the same(could have been the downtime) I ssh'ed in and deleted all the relevant folders belonging to FB, re-installed and it worked straight away. If it happens again I will try to get a better log

Well, as I said earlier I fixed an error from your log. It may be that xbmc.org being down was causing other issues, so let me know if it happens again after the next version.

If I post, is the notification supposed to trigger on my machine or is it only triggered from other members

Only other members. Basically the same logic as when you go to subscriptions on the website and the thread is in bold. Though for testing (other than subscriptions specifically) you can send a PM to yourself, which will trigger a notification.
