can some1 upload the img for me

Hey that's pretty cool. Thanks. ;)

Thanks Installed !!!

works great

thanks!

Good stuff!

*installed!

Stuart

very cool. helps users to see that there's a new pm if they turned off the popups

Thanks! Clicked install!

is there a way to put it beside Private Messages: Unread 0, Total 5.

yes there is... In the template (NAVBAR, i believe it is) make your code for the 'welcome' section as follows (adjusting the url in green below to path you would use:

Code:

<div class="smallfont">

                        <strong><phrase 1="$bbuserinfo[username]">$vbphrase[welcome_x]</phrase></strong><br />

                        <phrase 1="$pmbox[lastvisitdate]" 2="$pmbox[lastvisittime]">$vbphrase[last_visited_x_at_y]</phrase>

                        <br /><if condition="$bbuserinfo['pmunread']">

                                <a href="http://www.****.com/forums/private.php?"><img border="0" src="http://www.****.comt/forums/images/newpm.gif" width="22" height="10"></a>

                                </if>

                        <if condition="$show['pmstats']"><br /><phrase 1="$vbphrase[unread_x_nav_compiled]" 2="$vbphrase[total_x_nav_compiled]" 3="$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[private_messages_nav]</phrase></if>

                </div>

simple and sweet. nice hack. clicks install!

Hello Everyone,

I totally am with you on this issue. Same here, I am using Mozilla Firefox and rarely does the blinking envelope show up. It works great in I.E. but firefox is a problem.

Has anyone been able to come up with a fix?

Thank You,

Nuguru :)

Does it put in a space, as if the image is there when it doesn't display? I am wondering if it has to do with the image itself.

Note the extra before the new code.

Excelent!!!!!!!!!!!! ;)

Works great on 3.6.0:) :)

It's nice. Thanks. :)

Installed on 3.6.2, and working fine. Shows up normally in Firefox 2.0

I can't find the phrase to replace, here's the contents of my navbar template, where should I place the code?

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">

<!--

function log_out()

{

        ht = document.getElementsByTagName("html");

        ht[0].style.filter = "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage(grayscale=1)";

        if (confirm('$vbphrase[sure_you_want_to_log_out]'))

        {

                return true;

        }

        else

        {

                ht[0].style.filter = "";

                return false;

        }

}

//-->

</script>





<div style="padding-left:2px;">

            <div class="contenttopbg">

                        <div class="contenttopbg_right">

I have the invisible box for the image on IE, but no image.

On firefox, I have nothing. Time to start over...

Do you have the correct url path to the image?

Is the image on your server?

I put the image on my server... I can open it just fine and it works just as it does here...

Post up your template code and I will take a look.

Here you go, I just posted what is relevant:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">

<!--

function log_out()

{

        ht = document.getElementsByTagName("html");

        ht[0].style.filter = "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage(grayscale=1)";

        if (confirm('$vbphrase[sure_you_want_to_log_out]'))

        {

                return true;

        }

        else

        {

                ht[0].style.filter = "";

                return false;

        }

}

//-->

</script>

                </div>

                </td>

                

        <else />

The code looks fine.

I can not open the image with the link provided.

Is the url correct?

Well, I think I figured it out

Let's try again:

http://www.lexfstyle.com/forum/images/pm/newpm.gif

There it is.
The url is wrong in the code
you need to change this

http://www.lexfstyle.com/images/pm/newpm.gif

to this

http://www.lexfstyle.com/forum/images/pm/newpm.gif

Also you may want to use this. I move the that was after at the top and place it at the bottom. This will place the image next to the username. Just makes the style look better.

Code:

                        <strong><phrase 1="$bbuserinfo[username]">$vbphrase[welcome_x]</phrase></strong> <br /> Move this to the bottom

<!-- / Flashing envelope hack starts here -->





<if condition="$bbuserinfo['pmunread']">

        <a href="http://www.lexfstyle.com/forum/private.php?"><img border="0" src="http://www.lexfstyle.com/forum/images/pm/newpm.gif" width="22" 



height="10"></a>

        </if>

<br />

There we go.

Thanks for your help burntire. I appreciate it.
