Ok, this may not even be possible, and some people may not want it even if it were! But here's the thing. Sometimes I'm on the site for ages, and I get a PM, but sometimes I don't even notice it's there for like an hour before I go "oh, look, I've got a PM! What a lucky chap I am!". Is there any way to have like a nudge sent - messenger style - when you recieve a PM? Just so you know it's there? Like I say, I have no idea if it's even possible, but just a suggestion - open to commment!  |

I did suggest something like this a while back mate. Even if it was just in BRIGHT RED when you had a new one it would catch your eye when you scanned the boards. Even a pop up would be ok. A quick 'You have a new PM' By the way Kungfu - You have a PM.  |

In my profile settings my email address is my msn email, so whenever someone sends me a PM, i get an msn email telling me its there. And as its msn, a little window pops up and a sound is made whenever i get a mail.
Plus whenever i refresh the forum i always look at the top of the page toi see if theres any new messages, ive just got in the habit of doing it now.

LOL! Thanks, I'll check it!
And it's just anythig really that would make it a little noticeable that you have a PM waiting for you.

Yeah, I do that when I'm at work (as in now), because the browser I have here is unbelievably crap (AOL - dunno if they're all like that, but this is like the worst ever), and I have to constantly refresh! Whereas my browser at home and on my laptop both auto refresh whenever I do anything or click anywhere so I don't need to bother! Problem is, I don't always have msn on when I'm at home - it's not my primary email - in fact it's probably the lowest rung in the ladder of my emails! lol! I always try and pay attention to PM's etc, but when I'm at work, I usually just minimize and maximize the screen when I have time to look.

Well this is a free proboards forum sinistral didnt program the code to make it, as no doubt that would be a complete nightmare to do. But as its a Proboard forum theres limited options on how you can customize things, and i dont think theres any option to make new personnel messages any more obvious.

Yeah, I kinda suspected as much - didn't think there would be much option for programming! Ah well, no harm in asking!!! |
