Thanks guys.

I will give that a go.

[]Just a question, are you displaying the popup even when they have no messages? That would be annoying, lol. [/]

No... I left $privateslink alone in ubbt.inc.php and created $privatespopup and added that into the menubar right after privates link. That opens the window only if there are private messages.

I could make it close when you click to view the messages... but then you get to the message screen (and if there's more than one message - it will pop up again... it functions just like the flasher - each page load it checks.).

So I thought I'd try to make it have the value to close the window if there was no flasher. That way if they left it open it wouldn't be outdated.

ie if the old thing is still sitting there saying you have 1 new message... and then they get a new message... it looks no different and is not effective.

I think I've taken your tidbits a long way.

I *guess* it would be possible to have that popup play a sound file.
Might play with that. I think I'd want to make that (maybe even the popup) a user option in their profile.

Will see how my users react. But each time we talk new features they talk about how sometimes they don't realize that they have new PMs etc and want a popup or something.

The few that I have sent PMs to this morning LOVE it.

Me too... I've found if I leave "who's online" open in the background... the PM popup box will come to the front. Thus "instant notification".

Thanks!
