Anything is possible... Just have to find someone to make it for you... or do it yourself.. :)

thx a lot lubi :)

I'll get on this tomorrow I need sleep. I promise... It shouldn't be hard.

works brill for me, Cheers :D

thanx this looks like a useful hack.. hate it when users are oblivious to PM's

lubi ?

erf erf u've got looooooooooooooooooooooong days in your country :)

Sorry I had completely forgotten. I'm having some trouble with a Prefix hack on my forum plus I updated to 2.2.1 today so give me a little time please.

no problem of course take your time :)

it was just for being sure you hadn't forgot it ;)

Am I correct in thinking this is supposed to blink (as in flash between two different colors) ? If that's the case then I dunno why, but it doesn't blink, it just changes the color of the cell till you go read the PM.

How come mine is blink all the time? :confused:, even when there is no new msg?

I believe it blinks until you actually READ the message. Even of you click on ok to a new message and go to your box, unless you actually open the message it will still blink.

I am having the same constant blink issue as well. I deleted all pm's in my inbox as well as from sent folder just to be sure. It still blinks. Still a newbie at all this code hacking so I need a little help with this one :)

Love the hack though. Like someone mentioned before, to many people leave pop up on pm unchecked and takes them days before they even realize they have a pm. This is a small but ingenious idea.

So, can someone kindly help me out? :D

I found out why it keeps blinking, stupid me, and that was I forgot to upload the index.php.

You might forgot to upload it too, go and check it.

works a treat on my 2.2.1 thanks :)

I installed this hack, but am having the same problem that one other person mentioned.

The PM bar does change to a different color, but it does NOT blink.

Any ideas why this would happen?

Thanks.

Well this hack was working great for me for awhile. But now what happens is it will blink for a new pm and of course I also get the pop up, so I click ok on the pop up to read it, I read it, then go back to the main forum and the bar is still blinking!!:D If I click on the bar and read the message again it stops. It's almost like reading it using the popup doesn't count as actually being read to the blink bar:D Any ideas?

This is probably easy, but I'm new...

I installed and it works fine, BUT -

My first and second BG colors are fairly close, and the blinking is not very noticable. Can I change the alt. color to say, [COLOR=red]?

Just use #FF0000 instead of {whicheveraltcolor}.

Do you have that hack for version 2.03?
Anybody?

Anybody??

What a sweet hack and it works perfect! simple yet very effective, my members will love this :)

Thanks

Can Somebody make this hack for v2.03?

Why not just upgrade to 2.2.1 :confused:

I would lose alot of members and all da posts...

And why's that??

For some reason I never got this hack working.

I got errors on the page, which I beleive were javascript errors.

I copied the javascript to the letter. Don't know what is going wrong.

And v2.21 has alot more bugs...V2.03 doesn't have that much bugz...

I kinda agree with you there so fair enough and 2.2.0 and above has pass encryption which I dont like! :rolleyes:
----------

Back on topic - I am now using a bg image instead of bg color - has anyone figured out who to get this hack working properly for this yet?

kickarse code hack mate, thanks...

Can someone tell me why the pn row blinks always, also when there issn't a new pn, after I upgraded the hacked vbb 2.2.0 to 2.2.1??? :o :mad: :stupid:

Can someone make this hack for v2.03?

VolsReport, this hack works perfect on 2.0.3. I just installed it on my board & i use 2.0.3.

Firefly, thanks for the small but neat hack.

Thanks Chen. Nice.

Hey T-Dogg!

Hack works nicely...flashes when it should, and not when it shouldnt. However, I have now lost the standard pop-up alerts.
Any ideas?

AM I correct in assuming that this hack works in conjunction with the pop-up notices and it is not intended to replace them?

Nope, should work nicely with them. :)
Considering the pop up is controlled in global.php and my hack in index.php, I don't know how it could conflict with it. :confused:

A little hack goes a long way ... thanks.

I can easily use this feature in a non-vb page, however, it continues to blink (even if I don't have any unread messages). What do I have to do to fix this problem?

Its works.. BUT it makes the Currently Active Users: box flash and not the other PM box??

I like the idea of this hack.

There is one bug with it though.

When you have no PM it doesn't flash (correct)
When you get PM it flashes (correct)
When you read PM it stops flashing (correct)
When you delete your PM it starts flashing (wrong)

When you delete your PM it should not flash any more, this is where the bug lives.

If someone is able to squash this bug please let me know what you had to do.

TIA

But... there is a bigger bug. it makes my other box flash all the time!
