Thanks for this! :)

I've attached my blinking envelope which we used on our previous board. Very nice one.....

How would the link look like if I would like the envelope to be clickable ?

Very nice, as was stated before, a black one would be great. I have a black skin and white folder lol. At least I KNOW pms will be read, out of sheer annoyance haha.

*clicked install*

Would this work in Postbit(I hope that the template I'm thinking of) so that the blinking envelope could be located either by the members name or by the IM icons? It might be more noticable there...

I also would really like one that is transparent in the background so that it'll mesh with any background color!

You'll also notice that the width/height needs to be changed to match the size graphic your using! :)

installed...and ... tweaked for my forums.

no longer requires file edit ? and whatabout global.php ?

Any live screenshot here ?
The site he gave us has suspended.

A real screenshot would be nice, instead of forcing people to visit your own forums if they want to see the mod in action. Yes, you can make animated GIFs. And yes, your website IS suspended, apparently. And finally, the same effect of this could have been achieved WITHOUT any file modifications. Just use the global_start hook.

I added this smooth animation and give it a space between the icon and the "Private message" text.
Dont forget to cahnge the size of it in the template changes to 18 x 11
