Your LimeSurvey version: 5.4.10+221107 Own server or LimeSurvey hosting: own
==================
Messages like "Question saved" and "Survey settings were successfully saved" appear in a pop-up bar at the top of the admin interface in response to button clicks, to show success status. They cover links at the top of the page and don't always disappear on their own. This is such a small issue but it's bothered me for years. Is there a setting I'm not seeing that will change the format of these notices so they're not pop-ups? Or to only have them appear when something goes wrong, or disappear quickly? If I click 'save' I will assume that what I asked to be saved will be saved unless I am told otherwise... but of course I don't want to hide them with CSS because I'd miss important error messages.
Feels petty to ask about something so minor on a platform I have used and appreciated for so long. Just hoping someone else who felt the same annoyance has a tip for me.

I feel the same annoyance as you. This would be something a UI designer would do better: either in a designated space, where it does not overlap with functions that you need or in some other clever way.
The developers of LimeSurvey are very much focused on functionality, but somewhat less on user experience.
When you would want to try to influence them to look at this annoyance, you can best send in an error report at:

Agreed. Same here. annoying and unnecessary. For sure, there are better ways to handle this.
When you made a bug report, please post the link here so we can "push" the request by adding comments.
