Pop-up window on new PM possible?Follow

#1 Aug 26 2008 at 11:41 PM Rating: Excellent
I was wondering, as the title states, if it may be possible to make an addition to the site that would have a small pop-up window tell you when you have a new PM when you first log on (or open the browser if you stay logged in, or change pages if it just came). I used to be a member of some Ragnarok forum site many moons ago that had a feature such as that, and it was wonderful.

This would be great for those of us like me who don't get a PM but once in a blue moon. I hardly ever even look at the little PM notification, and often forget that it is there. Several times I have seen I had new messages by accident, only to find that they were then monthly old and irrelevant.

For those that do get tons of PMs, maybe an option under their Account screen could toggle the feature on and off. I for one, would love to have something like that active, though Smiley: smile

Yeah I would like this too..the little notepad(?) thing is nice but not THAT noticable unless you happen to glance at that part of the screen.

I get a lot of PMs..heh be it for people to call me a stupid ***** or random PMs about my avatars xD i'd just like an option to display when I get one..I mean it doesn't have to be in your face:

"YOU GOT A PM BUDDY!"

Like the stuff those PHP forums use the "You have (#) PM(s) [Ok (goes to inbox)] [Cancel]"

What about making it a profile option, so you can turn the alert on or off.

Now to pm randomness to Mistress Theonehio about her avatar.

The pop up window would be a great idea. The only thing that I would add would be have the following picture of Usagi be the pop up window, and have this sound play.
