Never get "Temp allow" or "Allow;" only Mark Untrusted

I am now never getting in the dropdown the options to temp allow or perm allow.
I only get a list of (one or several) "Mark YYY as Untrusted."
What have I got wrong. I went through options and all looks right to me.
ADDED and I just noticed I am never getting the notificatons bar when hitting a new site.

ADD 2
I tried to uninstall and reinstall NoScript, but it does not uninstall completely as all options I had set were restored as soon as I reinstalled it--so it did not uninstall the options, which seems to be where the problem is.

You most likely selected "Allow scripts globally".
Just select "Forbid script globally".

Wow you are right;
that certainly was not intentionally done!
and It did not occur to me that the existence of the "Forbid scripts globally" was a clue that I had done that.
Duh.
and thanks

You should have seen a confirmation dialog when allowing scripts globally - unless you accidentally clicked the checkbox in Options-Whitelist.

I don't know how I did it. I know to NOT do it (defeats the whole purpose), but obviously I did do it somehow.

(Who says jcarerra is necessarily the one who set that option? Who says it's not some other software?)

I know, I'm just saying it's odd that it could happen accidentally. That checkbox is the only way I can think of offhand that wouldn't trigger the confirmation dialog. Apart from malware, yes.
