ooh cool, it worked.

Neat hack, well done.

Overgrow, though I can't thank you enough for implementing the pmpopup function, it MUST happen after activation. When you register, there is a link to return to the Main BB view. This is the first thing newbs see, NOT the activation E-mail. When the newbs click this link, the pmpopup occurs, even if they are not activated. On my board, this pm hack is an incentive to actually read the PM box. What good is the popup if they can't actually get to the message? It's just confusing for them and I'd appreciate it if you could force the pmpopup after activation. That way they can actually click the link in the popup.

Thanks!

OK, I figured out what was going on. In my board, Users Awaiting E-Mail Confirmation cannot use the PM system. So when they get the popup, things go wrong because they cannot read the PM until they are activated.

I'd really like to see an alternate version of this updated hack where the PM is sent after activation, just like the original hack. I'd use the old hack, but there is no pmpopup functionality.

So either I use the old hack and get no pmpopup or I use the new hack and the PM is sent immediately instead of after activation. Hmmmm, what a pickel.

Thank you very much for this great Hack.
Just a simple Thing: The Image for "new Posts" doesn't show up, the Message seems to be "old" - is there a way to fix this?

i use Firefly's "flash the pm bar on new message" hack
that works wonders!

I noticed that too. Without pmpopup on the message is not "new", it's old.

Very Nice hack

it works perfectly once again thank you :)

easy to install, workin perfect!
Thank you very much!! i had 2 moderators do this manually every day - they are even more thankfull :)

not sure what the problem is but i am getting this as the PM title

<!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: newpm_title --> Welcome to ********! <!-- END TEMPLATE: newpm_title -->

instead of the "Welcome to ********!"

the rest is working fine. any ideas?
