How to Cancel iMessage Banners - Help

Your guess was perfect, it is indeed a Banner 100 percent. An iMessage came in and a "banner" notification popped up in the right hand top corner of my MBP. I have clicked the small "x" which I explained my original post, the same thing that you suggested that I did. That doesn't work.

There is no, none, zero possibility that it is anything else, it is indeed a "Banner" notification, and even if it wasn't, which it is, it is not closing when the "x" is clicked, nor if when you go into "options" in the Banner box, and click Mark as Read.

To avoid any confusion I have done what you have requested and have attached a screen shot.

Let me know what you suggest. Thanks

Broady again you are not reading my question. Its a banner, no question about that, but I have already explained in my original post that I am clicking on the small "x" on the banner to close it, and that doesn't work. In your reply to my question, you are suggesting that I do exactly that, click on the small "x". I don't need a suggestion to do something that Ive already clearly explained that I am doing.

Secondly and to avloid any confusion whatsoever. I am not talking about stopping all future notification banners here. I get how to do that, via "Notifications". I am referring to a "Banner" which has popped up on the right hand of my MBP screen, and I can not close/cancel it. Ive clicked the "x", Ive clicked "options" Mark as read etc. It doesnt work. The banner will not close down/cancel.

I hope this clarifies the situation.

Bud I have explained that already (3) three times in my previous messages, including my original query.

1) "Ive tried clicking on "Options", mark as read etc, but that does cancel the banner."

2) " Ive clicked the "x", Ive clicked "options" Mark as read etc. It doesnt work. The banner will not close down/cancel."

3) "it is not closing when the "x" is clicked, nor if when you go into "options" in the Banner box, and click Mark as Read."

Any other ideas?

John thanks for taking the trouble to actually read my messages. Yep it beats me, clicking on the "x" does nothing, the banner just stays where it is. I thought maybe I was doing something wrong, or there was maybe a setting that needed tweaking, but a hard boot seems to be the only way unless anyone else has a bright idea?

Thanks again John, its much appreciated.

Brody thanks for tghe reply but I dont think you read my question. Have a read again and then see if you can suggest something. Thanks
