Viper Report post Posted December 28, 2005 (edited) I just logged on and a box popped up with PM's in it, I didn't get the red notification thingy at the top like I used to. Is this a new thing, do I have to check my PM box to see if I have any? I didn't know I had any messages so I must seem very rude. Viper.

I have to admit I'm not as impressed with the PM notification box as I was with the old forum software. I'll see if Lufty and I can find a decent replacement. Anyone else seen a problem with PM notifications? Kris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
something_different Report post Posted December 28, 2005 i have never really used the PM feature before now so i don't know what it used to be like but when i logged on a wee box popped up to say that i had a message do u still get a notification when ur online? or does the box only pop up once u log back in again?

Viper Report post Posted December 28, 2005 I don't mind the box so much, it's just that I had a pm that was 4 days old and didn't know about it. As SD said, do we only get a notice when we log in or do they pop up when they are sent. If we only get them on logging in we might not get new messages until the following day, which might be a bit incovienient if someone needs help straight away. Viper.

Hi Viper I get the notice box appearing as soon as I get a new PM. Kind regards Lufty Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Viper Also just a thought to check your personal profile as there are two settings which affect the display of PM notifications. Go to "My Controls" Then "Board Settings" under "Options" Make sure :- "Do you wish to get a board notification when you get a new personal message?" is set to "Yes" "Disable your personal messenger" is set to "No" Kind regards Lufty Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kathryn Report post Posted December 29, 2005 It's not really a big issue, but I must say I liked the old red pm message better. (all the other changes are great, though ) K Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
