installed and works great :)

I absolutely LOVE this hack!
Is there any way to put the blinky right in front of the "Private Messages" line instead of above it?

eeps, n/m, figured it out...
in case anyone else wants to do the same:

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>

I'd add a screenshot, but everytime I try the newpm.gif doesn't show up *shrugs*

Thanks for presenting another option. I think the reason the newpm.gif isn't showing in your attachment is because it's animated but I think it's easy enough to get what you are saying. :)

I am using a custom icon! in a custom way. Normally the members avatar shows on the right hand side of the Welcome box, when they receive new mail, this shows (its animated but you can't see it in the screenshot).

Very strange. I'd rather deal with forcing myself to look for new PM's than deal with a constantly blinking pm

The following condition will only display it if you have an unread PM. Make sure you have the if statements in your template surrounding your altered image path.

Code:

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

your code

</if>

I'll give it another try. Thanks!

I installed this, but just out of interest, what forum software or site first made that flashing mail icon? It's been around for years!

I did it another way, but took the idea from this template mod, so am clicking Install. Thanks for the idea :)
