The headinclude script does slow down the loading of my pages quite a bit for some reason. Also, the PM text is blinking even after you have read your message - it blinks when you have new messages since your last visit, not when you have unread messages (unlike Firefly's PM bar blink hack).

Great hack and all, but in the install file it says that you've been having trouble with the div tags. You don't even need the div tag, the A tag has the id attribute too (oh yeah, and there is no title attribute in the A tag either), so you can change

Code:

<div id="pm"><a href="private.php?s=$session[sessionhash]" title="Private Messages"><smallfont>$headpm[messages] New PM(s)</smallfont></a></div>

<script language="javascript">

blink('pm');

</script>

Code:

<a href="private.php?s=$session[sessionhash]" id="pm"><smallfont>$headpm[messages] New PM(s)</smallfont></a>

<script language="javascript">

blink('pm');

</script>

And it works fine, with no concern for HTML errors. :)

hmm it should not slow you down at all.. there are few people who test it on their servers, no probs at all.

and this is not a hack inspired from firefly's. ;)

]1) I can assure u, that it doesn't slow down your forums at all... :)
2) works just great at mine forums, no errors, no blinking after u have read all messages
3) Firefly's hack and this one is two different things... :p

i had the same problem, it still flashs when i have already read the PM. i would rather it only flash when there is unread PM's, i uninstalled it because of this issue. great hack that i think should be added to vb3 instead of the pop-up

this is wierd. i get 2 comments. one that is working perfect and the other that it slows down the server and it doesnt blink only on new pm's.

well, it does blink only in new pm's. and it doesnt slow down my server. so far i got 3 people telling me on messenger that it works perfect (blinks the right way, server ok) and 2 here, that it doesnt.

can you be more specific? what browser do you use?
is all related to browser.

Works fine for me, blinks with new messages (read and unread) and server is seeing no increase whatsoever. Using IE 6.

All times are GMT. The time now is 06:16 AM.
