One thing that I did that is kind of cool is add a pop up window to let you know you have a private message waiting if you use Netscape or puts the private message in an iframe if you use IE.
In Ultimate.cgi look for:
if ($privcount[0] == $privcount[1]){ if ($privcount[0] == 0) { $pmdesc = "You have 0 private messages."; } if ($privcount[0] != 0) { $pmdesc = "You have $privcount[0] new private message$ptadd.";
change this to:
if ($privcount[0] == $privcount[1]){ if ($privcount[0] == 0) { $pmdesc = "You have 0 private messages."; } if ($privcount[0] != 0) { $pmdesc = "You have $privcount[0] new private message$ptadd."; $frameinfo = qq(
Clickhereif you want to close the Private Messages Box. You will need to delete your private messages first.
or wherever on your Ultimate.cgi page that you would like it. I put it at the top so the members can see it as they log on.
In addition you will need to put your message that you want to say for your popup with Netscape users in a file called instantprivate.html and put this in your ubb directory and change the yoururl.com path to your ubb directory.
