My notification not blinking! How can i turn off popup for private messages?

[Valter]

You can turn it off in your user cp.

Blinking notification is javascript based and should work in all browsers with js enabled.

What's your browser/os?

[datoneer]

Firefox

[pbnjj11]

epicness!!!! thanks! your mods make my site look and act a lot better!

[Megaboost]

I'm running this on vb4.1.9 but I have a problem with the Blink.... It blinks when I go to my Inbox page but it does not blink on the Forum Homepage... Everything else seems to be working fine though.

Could someone please look for a fix for this.

p.s. I use Firefox browser 9.0.1

[thecore762]

Thank you so much!
This is an awesome mod!

[fldewey]

Cool mod - thanks.

The one thing that prevents me from using it is that you can no longer access your PMs from the navbar if you don't have any PMs.

For example without the mod if you click on the "Notifications" and you DON'T have a PM you can still go to your inbox. With this mod you can no longer use that link.

Is it really necessary to have one PM link in the header plus one in the navbar?

[garybrun]

Installed ... thank you.

[datoneer]

You can turn it off in your user cp.

No i can't . Cannot find that anywhere

Isn't that for the actual Pop Up window not the one in the header? Plus, if that is the solution, is there a way to do it Globally, I really hate to have to tell all my members they have to do it.

Thanks

[Valter]

Above was answer to the following datoneers question:
How can i turn off popup for private messages?

[Valter]

And if you are talking about PM Menu in the navbar it can be disabled in product options:

Thanks valter

[Valter]

You're welcome :-)

Notification simply gone. Not blinking again. Register there and try

[skokarl]

Hallo Valter,....

a lot of people missing a function for attachments with pm ... :)

perhabs in the next version ? ;) ...

[13allchat]

Nice Man i am install for my forum :)

[fldewey]

Is it really necessary to have one PM link in the header plus one in the navbar?

Is it really necessary to disable an existing feature?

My site is 99% blog users... so there is no navbar link to PMs on the blog page, although I guess I could put one in. Sorry I should have been more specific. Again - I like the mod I was just pointing out that it does disable a small bit of functionality that may be important to some.

I'll look into adding another PM link on our blog page because I like the addon. Thanks again for your work.

Great mod!

Thank you

[Skyrider]

Curious.. Does this addon includes message to a specific group?

[Trevor Matthews]

Great mod, many thanks.

[Trevor Matthews]

Stopped members with IE8 accessing the forum correctly so had to un-install this.

[Toorak Times]

Thanks for another wonderful product mate!!! Love your work, so far my most installed mods! Tested and worked great, ....maybe affected the Forum Notifications mod, as it re installs the standard notifications I disabled when install Forum Skins Notifications, you can have a look if you like!

Cheers

Mick

[Nirjonadda]

Installed...Working perfectly on 4.1.10

[raymondblog]

Is it possible to include blink notifications when receive "Unread Visitor Messages"?

[Super-six]

Disables pop-up notification function in 4.1.11

[RapidRippeR]

thanks a bunch for this ..really helpful .:)

[DirtRider]

I had to remove this mod as it was conflicting with my PhotoPost gallery. I am using flash upload in PhotoPost and what I found it was not showing the select image option for some members

[Glockie]

Perfect!

Installed, users love it too; marked as MOTM.

Thank you!

[Taurus1]

Great mod, thanks. I am having only one small issue. Not sure if it is from something else, but avatars are not showing in PM's for me. When I disable this mod, it shows again. I hope you can help. Thanks.

I too have the same issue with avatars not showing. Not huge, but would like things as they should be.

[mgurain]

It's working on 4.2, but shouldn't this be upgraded ?

Regards,,

[RedTurtle]

Valter,

Thank you for this awesome mod!

Is there any hope of you creating a mod that allows the blinking highlight feature to work whenever there's any type of notification? I have the "Recent Thanks for [AJAX] Post Thank You Hack" also installed on my board and it'd be great to have the notifications also blink for users when someone has thanked a post of theirs.

Any way of getting this done? Thank you again.

[Hippy]

@Valter
there is a small space next to the private message drop down after updating
it was never there before on vb4.1.12pl1 If you click the blank space it brings you to your pm box
peek at it please
thanks

[Valter]

That's where drop-down menu is added, but that link is not visible for me in Firefox, IE, nor Chrome.

[Hippy]

see the "blank" space between New Posts: 2https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/images/misc/menu_open.gif
and
Private messageshttps://vborg.vbsupport.ru/images/misc/menu_open.gif ??

put your mouse over it

as soon as you hit the middle of that "blank" space youll see you mouse change ..
it's a link to the private.php

then as you move your mouse to the right over Private messageshttps://vborg.vbsupport.ru/images/misc/menu_open.gif

it's javascript://

[I.G.O.T.A.]

I just upgraded to vb 4.2 and now it doesn't work. How do I fix it? It don't show up or work at all. I have a custom theme and it will show up on the vB theme, but not my custom theme. Any ideas?

[vivapotenza]

working fine for me on VB4.2

nominated for MOTM, as the reply to all feature is a lifesaver :)

[Disco_Stu]

Installed to my 4.2 pl1 site. Seems to work except that notification is not blinking until you go into your inbox.

Marking as installed. Avatars are showing up in PM ok. Not having the issue others have reported. If you have spare time to address the non blinking issue that would be a bonus.

[artcrimes]

Thanks!

The same is also in my case (vB 4.2.0 PL1). It would be nice to get rid of this added space :-).

[Patriots1049]

Anyone find a fix yet/?

[Hippy]

Disabled it and made my own with the new navigator manager

[Patriots1049]

Can you explain how?

[Hippy]

you can find the link / code to use for the drop link and menu with in the xml file
here are 3 screen shots to help as well..

[tourajabbasi]

im dealing with a problem regarding conflict between this mod and my style...

here is the pic ... any idea ?

http://persianpet.org/modir/images/rohfzj2wq73kw5l6h7y.png

[datoneer]

@Valter you should fix this:

Between new posts and private messages is private.php. But it is invisible. You can check on my forum www.imspot.org.

[Arrogant-One]

Thank you, Sir :) Installed!

BTW: Happy belated new year :up:

Wonderful mod. Excellent work and three cheers :up:to the coder!

[I.G.O.T.A.]

I have two sites with custom themes, and its not working on either one. Anything I can check out to make it work. Do I need to change something so it shows up on navbar? When I enable it the private message link goes away. Really confused on this one. Both are the newest versions of vB.

[datoneer]

Thanks hippy its fixed now

[Superorb]

What does "use control panel settings" mean in the vBoptions?

[Valter]

If unchecked it will ignore user setting in their control panel to save or not sent messages by default.

[Superorb]

Gotcha, thanks. Is there any way to remove that gap that links to PM box when the nav link is enabled besides manually building the navlinks with the new nav manager??

[I.G.O.T.A.]

If I disable the "Enable Private Messages Menu in the NavBar" the Link will appear, but not the menu list under neath it. Anyone have any ideas?

[Superorb]

This blinks correctly with a PM, but it does not blink with any other notifications. How can I make it blink if there are any notifications?

[Jpolola]

Many Thanks..Very easy to install. vb4.2 work

[marcus123]

is their a way to enable this for all notifications?

[Superorb]

is their a way to enable this for all notifications?
I asked the same question 2 posts up ;)

[Tariq Waheed]

My Notification will not Blink what is I'm doing wrong? I have 4.2.0

if anyone can help I truly appreciate.

Tariq

[datoneer]

It works now!

[Bubble #5]
