i have no problem with this hack, check it out on my forum.
http://www.4themusik.com

and login to private messages as
username: test
password: test

and then sned yourself a private message,
then as soon as you start looking at threads it will pop saying you have a new message......

Question:

When it pops up, can the user close and get messages later, or...will the box keep popping up ad nauseum as they browse the forums?

it should only pop up once

It didn't work on my board.

Is this compatible with PM 2.0?

2Exstatica, thanks for providing us your pmc-test-account but - well - no dialog box appears on your site, using ie5.0 and netscape4.7; well, i'm not really a newbie so i'm asking myself about any missing javascript-tags or lil' bugs in your script...
chris http://technoforum.de

let me redocument it, but it really does work on my site, but right no i can't delete pms for some reason and i can't upload images right. hmmmm i got some work to do, but this hack does work. i think there was too many people trying it at once....

2Exstatica, well - I checked your script and there's a bug: even if u have new messages the pmpop-Tag includes a blank line. Well, I don't like bugfixing without asking the author of the origin.script, so I did make my own thing which uses the original pm-check-script on ultimate.cgi. I'm also using a completely different Jscript-PopUp I coded. The main difference is that you don't see HOW many new messages you got, you get just a note THAT one ore more new privateMessages are waiting for you. The script works 100% and if u guys out there want me to document it, just let me know, it's the first mod I've ever done, based on Exstaticas idea...

Here you'll find the complete and documented mod:

Thanks, you should still be able to use the private message tag that displays how many thier are

I'd like to add this to Active Topics (active.cgi).

Where do I put the code?

this is a useful hack...hopefully theyll add it to the next version of cpm

Techno emailed me that he/she would be including his version into active.cgi.

I like this version better.

Where do i need to put the code for this version into active.cgi?

Bumps for an answer....

This stopped working for no reason.

I was messing with PM 3.0, but I put all the previous 2.0 files back.

I doublechecked forumdisplay.cgi, and it checks out perfectly.

OK,

I checked back on changes made.

The PM Notify stopped working after installing the PM Ban addon and UBB Code fix.

(Pre PM 3.0)

No changes were made to forumdisplay.cgi since, so the problem lies most likely in the code changes made in the Ban addon.

Help please!

Workin on it... this is the final component I need for UBBIM, so I'll add it to CYMPM 3.5 I think... cheers!
