Do I have to have the exclamation mark in the UI at all times?

[cdysthe]

Hi,

If I choose to have anonymous FTP or unauthorized Samba enabled do I have to see that exclamation mark in the firmware UI at all times, or is it a way to have it warn and then go away?

And please do not lecture me when it comes to the risks. I am fully aware of them and that is why I do not have to be reminded at all times!

It is a warning. You are aware of the risks you take. Just ignore it then.

Hi,

I just wondered if there's a way to disable the flashing exclamation mark. Guess not..

You could try this but I don't know what it might break.

# nvram set st_ftp_force_mode=2
# nvram set st_samba_force_mode=4

You can simply make it invisible using User CSS. The following should work in all browsers:

div#notification_status.notification_on {
    visibility: hidden !important;
}
