I think it would be nice if there was a little flashing icon next to the 'New Messages' text whenever there is a new message in your inbox. I tend to ignore that area unless I'm going to my control panel.

So if there was like an animated gif or something that drew attention whenever a person has a new message I think a lot of people would be able to respond faster, I know I would.

Just a suggestion smile.gif

Or you can turn this option to yes:

Do you wish to get a board notification when you get a new personal message?

Then when you click on a page after someone has sent you a PM, there will be a frame at the top of the page saying in red that you have a new PM.

A big page with a preview of the PM.
I don't really see how you can miss it. ermm.gif

Really... Who wouldent notice a big red box at the top of the page... Hmm... Maybe color blind people, But that would be the only excuse.

No, even colorblind people would see it because the colors from everything else are so different. happy.gif

Already as it is, you get that big box that pops up whenever a new pm comes. Then you know you have at least one PM waiting. Thats how I do it.

I always got PMs when I arrive here tongue.gif Good thing I disabled email!

I know about the board notification thing, I just dispise things that 'Pop-Up' if you know what I mean. Oh well. Was worth a shot smile.gif

But a big blinky thing just adds to the chaos. wink.gif

SENv5 has no popup thingy... It's hawt... I'll consider a small (slow) blinking icon though, it didn't cross my mind.
Invision 2.1 has a inscreen popup that is movable! While I'm sure the coding behind it is sexy, the popup itself will certainly annoy me more than our current state.

it wouldn't be much noticable anyways.

Edit- I mean as much as the red box.
