Not working on vB 3.8.6 and 3.8.7! The New PM icons are not visible! Not even when I put it in Theme Misc folder, or just the usualy Images/misc folder! No sound no notification at all..

Not working on vB 3.8.6 and 3.8.7!
you're in the 3.8.x forum and i'm not promised that mod will work on vb 3.6
but on 3.8 works perfectly, this hack installed in many forums, check installation instructions

Is there a way to set the default interval to 1 min.?

So when a new user registers, the interval is set to 1min automatically...

Do know if I explain myself. Thank you.

Update - v2.0.0 - see first post
Now you can add your own notes to the notification window
Example
if you use Recent Thanks for [AJAX] Post Thank You Hack (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=279907)
in file krchecknotes.php find:

if($vbulletin->userinfo['socgroupinvitecount'] > 0)
{
// invitations to join social groups
$totalnotes += $vbulletin->userinfo['socgroupinvitecount'];
$xml->add_tag('notifications', $vbphrase['invitations_to_join_social_groups'], array(
'link' => 'group.php?do=invitations',
'notescount' => $vbulletin->userinfo['socgroupinvitecount']
));
}

Add below:

if($vbulletin->userinfo['recent_thankcnt'] > 0)
{
$totalnotes += $vbulletin->userinfo['recent_thankcnt'];
$xml->add_tag('notifications', $vbphrase['recent_thanks_newnotif'], array(
'link' => 'recent_thanks.php',
'notescount' => $vbulletin->userinfo['recent_thankcnt']
));
}

Legend:
$totalnotes - total notes received
$vbphrase['recent_thanks_newnotif'] - phrase to show in notes window
'recent_thanks.php' - link to page (recent thanks page for this case)
$vbulletin->userinfo['recent_thankcnt'] - notification count received

This is a very nice addon however it could be better. This is my feedback:
When you install this it's disabled by default in the user control panel. What's the point of installing this if it's going to be disabled by default for all users? You should change that behavior.
Also you should include a close icon button in the corner of the notification box ("X") so when you close the box then it doesn't appear anymore unless there is a new notification.
There should be an option (disabled by default) so members could choose if they want to hear the sound or not.
This mod appears to be looking for an image from images/misc/blinkpm.gif however that GIF isn't part of the stock vBulletin so maybe you should include the icon in your package?

Can't seem to get this puppy to work. I have the Live Thread installed and it's working perfect so I know the AJAX is capable.

I followed the instructions and used both the UTP-8 and Windows products (switching back and forth when testing) and could not get it to work correctly.
