[3.0] Confusing notification settings #6957

Description

@LiroyvH

Not entirely sure if it should be categorised as bug, more like a potential for enhancement.

In the notifications settings, you cannot enable/disable "notifications" for Personal Messages. You can only enable/disable getting an e-mail. However, you can get pop-ups from SMF saying you have new messages.

I think this may be confusing, because the setting to control that is not under notification settings, but is in the lay-out section. ("Show a pop-up when I receive new messages"). Imho, this isn't a lay-out setting but should probably go to the notifications to prevent confusion/people looking in the wrong place; despite this pop-up not technically being a notification for the feature that is controlled in that window. (On the other hand it could be argued it isn't relevant to the lay-out either, so doesn't really make a difference where it is in the partially right/wrong location... :P)

To be honest, it would make more sense to me to actually allow users to get notifications for Personal Messages instead of e-mail only, and then remove the pop-up feature. But that's perhaps a bit late now. :)
