What does the bell do? (Notifications not working)

[zenben]

Hi at all!
What does this little fella do?


It's always zero (0) and it doesn't show anything.
Not on my CWP6 and not on my CWPpro7

While phpMyAdmin on my CWPpro7 shows me 3 entries under: "Server: localhost »Database: root_cwp »Table: notifications" 
Sooo is this GUI bell (button) broken or what?


Can anyone help?
Thank you
