Let's just get rid of popup notifications. Hi, Any update on this issue? Already done for Kronolith 3.

The alert is only there for completeness, the inline notifications give you everything you want. We might consider solution 3 though.

Choosing Options->Calendar->Notifications->Popup Notifications leads to a javascript alert every time you browse to a new page once an alarm has fired. Steps to repeat: 1. Set your kronolith notification type to Popup Notification 2. Create an event with an alarm and wait for it to fire 3. Click OK to dismiss (snooze?) the alarm 4. Navigate to another page within horde 5. Alarm will popup again Main Issue: The alarm is not being dismissed or snoozed when you click the OK button, and it's not obvious what should happen when only one choice is given. Possible Solutions: 1. Provide a more robust popup window and not just a JavaScript alert. This probably won't work as most modern browsers enable popup blocking by default. 2. Dismiss the alarm when a user clicks OK. This is probably the most logical solution though it still isn't obvious that dismissal is the requested action. 3. Provide a confirm dialog instead of an alert, Cancel could cause a snooze of some default length, OK could dismiss the alarm.
