*** i did do a search and i don't think this hack has been done already if it has I' m sorry ;)*****

This is one of my pet peeve's, And I just coded this little thing into my board. So I figured Iwould share it with you, in case someone else would like ot use it.

I got the idea form the "Blink PM bar on new PM!" (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?s=&threadid=32299) Hack that I believe Firefly did. but this hack is uses totally seperate code and should not cause any conflicts with that hack.

What it does is put's a blinking message in the pm bar that tells a user to clear out his pm box if he has more than 50 total pm's stored

hope someone finds it useful. If you like it please click on intstall.

p.s. this is my first release so i hope i did everything right ;/

This script looks like what I'm after....if I don't want it to blink am I right that I would just use steps 1 and 3 and skip 2? (and modify step 1 to take out the blink)? Or does step 2 do something else besides the blink?

lol! I guess I'll find out when I try it! (which I can't do at the moment....will report back) ;)

Yup, took out the "blink" part and it's works like a charm! Love it! I replaced the text with a simple red "FULL".....a great way to let members know when they used up their storage space.
