[broken] PM Popup

[Rose]

The pm popup box doesn't seem to be working here. :( I double checked my settings and I have it set to "on", but I don't get a popup box when I get a new pm.

:(

[amykhar]

me either. Haven't for ages.

Got something funky in your phpinclude template cause that could do it.

[Erwin]

Mine works...

[base]

perhaps you have a pop-up blocker enabled for your browser? i know i do in camino and safari... just a thought

[Dean C]

Even a javascript error pop-up :s?

It's the same as getting an error messgae but just different text ;)?

PopUp dosen?t work for me. :(

[Tigga]

I can confirm that it's not working as well. I just sent a message to myself from another account and did not receive the pop-up. The index page displayed a javascript error as well, but hasn't shown one any other time.

[base]

ok, no one said anything about an error being displayed before i said that, but i know that pop-up blockers will stop a pm pop-up... quite annoying really as you would have clicked on a submit button to actually pop it up anyway... heh

[Rose]

:s I do have a popup blocker, and it's a decent one. But it doesn't seem to effect other vBulletins' popup boxes.

[Tigga]

<-- Doesn't have a pop-up blocker and the PM pop-up works fine on other sites. :)

[Tigga]

Btw... Just signed on a minute ago and had a new pm in my box. I didn't get a pop-up, but saw a javascript error on the forums index page...

[Erwin]

Strange... must investigate...

[Brad]

confirmed here to...

I do have a pop-up blocker, but it dose not effect the pm pop up on my vB or any other I go to.

[assassingod]

Any word on this? Still not working for me either:(

The popup is obsolete now that you already receive the entire text of the PM via e-mail...

I whole-heartedly disagree. The popup is an instant alert that is on this site. It's very useful. Especially when a person goes directly to 'view new posts' instead of checking the site or forumhome. I don't want to rely on checking my email just to see I have a new private message. Not that this is a stupor-important issue, but it's definately not obselete. Relying on email for an instant notification is rather ludicrous, no?

Erwin - have you found anymore out about this error?

[Smoothie]

pm popup never worked on this site, before or after the hack. Works fine on all other vB's.

I second!

And the PM popup worked until a few months ago :confused:

[Erwin]

For PM popup to work, you need to switch Email notification to "off". Then it should work.

[assassingod]

It is. Still doesn't work

[Erwin]

Mmm... since vB3 is coming out, I won't fix it. :) We'll have to start from scratch with everything here anyway.

[Andrew111888]

That sucks.... I'd hate to have to completely redesign vBulletin.org, soooooooo much stuff....:eek:

Oh well, I haven't taken any time to REALLY develop my forum so uhh..... I don't have an excuse to be lazy anymore once vB3 is out:p

[The Wedge]

yeah mine stopped working too. The last hack I installed was vBhome. I think that might have done it...

[Cloudrunner]

Confirmed as well, and to add to this, I've not recieved any email updates to subscribed threads...but have to pms....

[Keith]

I've been through most of the logic I can figure out on my own, and just can't seem to find why it's not working either, I give up. :) There are quite a few posts about this problem though. Perhaps it's a popular hack everyone posting has in common. Nevertheless, upgrading isn't a viable option for me right now. Maybe someone will find a fix.

[Gary King]

It's a built-in feature, actually.

Anyways, it always seems to be working for me :)
