Simon,
Let me give this a shot. I just recently got and N90s and SB-28

You have the head tilted down a few percent (for close up flash).
Just push the button and tilt it up a little. It's just a warning.

I normally make sure that the flash is on matrix and ttl with a
compensation of 0.0 assuming you use program matrix metering.
Often I like to turn down flash at least 1.7 for fill flash outside etc.
I hate the red-eye mode - too slow.
Sometimes I need to balance outside light to inside light. You can
switch to manual (set flash to aperature is easiest or manual with
flash meter) and adjust to any shutter speed that makes outside
meter reading about 1 stop lighter than your proposed flash inside.
Just remember to clear out all of these manual modes so that
everything is automatic for quick photos (by your wife for instance)
Hope this helps
