He gave the code to change the background color. He didn't give any code to show if there is a new message or not. Its a stupid little hack to change the background color. If someone told me the hex for the color white text and I go create a hack changing text white, it doesn't mean they told me how to write the mod.

:rolleyes:

great mod! thanks!

hex color and changing the font color isn't quite the same thing, sorry, nice try. the table class: pmbg and adding it to the css was told to you by eric in his post. Basically you just took what he told you to do and made it your's without giving credit.

If this is what people want for their pm's great, you provided a seperate thread with this idea, but you didn't write it yourself, just released it after getting the info from eric.

Who cares? It's all open-source anyway; technically you're stealing from the person who created PHP - or HTML, in this case. :p

Who cares ? - the person who wrote it might care - you can't just go around copying other peoples code and releasing it as your own. I suggest you contact eric and ask. :)

I believe it was already discussed in Eric's original thread - he didn't sound too happy, but he wasn't freaking out.

I was hating that my members had to look up and see they had a msg TEN MINUTES AGO..... this is a great idea and my mems preciate it~

couldn't you use this code to set the background as a flashing .gif image? that would allow you to have it flashing

agree
