Notifications
It looks like Notifications changed recently to a drop down list. It would be nice if we added an "Apply To All" like we have on the Quota Options. Right now if a user disables all Notifications and wants to add them back, they have to go through 20+ drop down options and set the value for each, save and repeat. This is not very user friendly.

That's not actually how it works. If you uncheck "Disable all notifications", the previous settings are all the same. This is because "disable all notifications" is a special "override" key that gets set on the account. Once that key is removed, all the previous settings are set the same as they were.
Let me know if that helps.

Thanks Brian. If a user disabled all of them in the old format and now wants to receive notifications, there is no easy way to change them. Think about changing all of these. There are 3 possible settings for each list. I have 34 options in the drop down. If you added the "Apply To All" option they could easily change from Email to Private with one click.
Just saying ease of use.

The format of the notifications haven't changed - just the layout. In other words, the underlying functionality is the same as it has been since the initial JR5. It used to be that all the options were shown on one page. They still had the same options (do not notify, email or private note - although some do not have private note). They still line up with the same keys. So if a user had a specific setup on the old form, it will still be the same on the new form.
The old way (all on one page) wasn't received very well - we had numerous users ask us to change it since it was "just a wall of text" and presented too many choices at once to the user.
Hopefully this section is mostly "set and forget", and not too much of a burden on your users. If your users are really unhappy with it let us know - we've changed this area a few times and we can always look at changing it again if it offers a clear improvement.
Thanks!

Old or New does not matter. This looks cleaner I just thought a "Apply To All" would be one and done.
