 * Is it just me or is the drop down broken on this page?

 * When I select a notification it never suggests a shortcode.

 * Hi [@klishb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/klishb/),
    Thanks for your message
   and reporting this.
 * I’ve now fixed and tested this page. Please refresh a few page and/or clear your
   browser cache in order to see the working page.

 * Weird. I still see no change to the page when selecting most things in the drop
   down. I tried a different browser and a different computer. The only message 
   that pops up is this on some of them:
 * This notification is made available through the Custom Fields add-on for Better
   Notifications for WP. You can purchase it here.
 * For most I see nothing.

 * Hi [@klishb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/klishb/),
    Have you tried in
   an incognito window or with a clear browser cache? I’ve just retested in a few
   browsers and it seems to be working as expected for me.
 * Many notification can use the same shortcodes so it’s worth trying one of the
   one ones, e.g. the Core Updates notification to see if it shows you different/
   additional options at the bottom of the page after selecting it.

 * I guess it is working and I just wasn’t expecting the result you provide. If 
   I zoom out far enough on the page I can see where it is changing content at the
   bottom of the page. I expected it to display a shortcode immediately below the
   drop down selection. It was extra confusing because I was looking for a shortcode
   to use for “Post Pending Review” and as I scrolled down the page I saw nothing
   that looked related. As I chose different options from the drop down and then
   scrolled down the page it also seemed like the same page content, but I guess
   it actually changes.

 * Hi [@klishb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/klishb/),
    Glad it’s now working
   for you.
 * Did you find a shortcode you were looking for or are you still looking for something
   in particular?
