How to set the default settings they ask you about when you complete an upgrade?

My browser crashed in the middle of setting the new defaults settings after an upgrade, and now when I login I end up on the main screen, and the settings do not get configured.  Is there a way back to that page?

Thank you,

Site administration > Notifications should do the trick.

I had to rollback a snapshot in the VM to get where I needed to go.  Is it okay to re-visit the https://<servername>>/admin/upgradesettings.php page again after it's already been setup?  It's a really long list and the chances that you'll timeout filling out the form are pretty good.

Yes - but just go to the bottom and press 'Save' is a good workaround. Default settings are wonderful things. You can always change things once the dust has settled.

That's true, but I can't get back to that specific list of settings...so how will I know if I missed something new and important, and even if I did know what was in that list how would I find it again where ever it resides in the Administrators configuration?

Did you ever find an answer?


I searched the forum for terms like "new settings" "notifications"... and didn't find anything but when I searched upgradesettings.php I found this from almost a year ago. I guess everyone just goes with the default settings? Like the OP I would like to know what was set.
