2. From any page activate this SmartBlock by entering ";;NotifyTest".

David so true. Output gets some extra blocks. However, I did some testing and it seems if you add <%NOBLOCKOUTPUT%> to the notification block it won't output, even with multiple notification instances.

In my tests, adding <%NOBLOCKOUTPUT%> to the the notification ...

<%NOTIFICATION:5,Press the counter button<br/>to complete the reset.%><%NOBLOCKOUTPUT%>

... also causes it to not present the notification.
