Nothing happens after clicking on an announcement in the notifications portlet.

1. Add a new site.
2. From the site, add an announcement.
3. Go to your dashboard.
4. Click on the notification portlet to show the announcement notifications.
5. Click on the notification entry.

Nothing happens. For a regular user who is a member of the site, you have to first join the site in order to get the notification, but clicking on it will still result in no action. The expected behavior is that you would be redirected to the announcement on the site.

Fixed by adding a URL for general announcements that will redirect to the announcements portlet on the current site.

PASSED Manual Testing using the steps in the description.

After clicking on the notification entry, the system will redirect you to an announcements portlet to display the full announcement.

At step 5 when tested in Portal 6.1.20 EE GA2 (does not occur in Portal 6.1.30), the user is redirected to the default Liferay page instead of the announcement. This occurs for General scope announcements as well as announcements that are scoped to the SO site.
