Thanks muchly appreciated

Thanks GaryW I like this feature alot and so do all my forum members. Great work.

I am trying to remove this as I found one I would rather use and cant find the code in my navbar template.. Weird. Yet it still works

Nice one :D

I couldn't get it to flash. It only changed the bg colour, didn't flash it back and forth.

EDIT: Got it working, just had some extra spaces in the code.

Thanks, looks tight.

I had it installed once, then had to re import stuff so lost my mods. I just did it again (like 3 times) and I'm not sure what I did wrong however, if you look at the attached screenshot you will see the problem.

It flashes just fine, but there is a little area to the right that doesn't flash. I can't seem to get rid of that little blank space. Can anyone please help?

Here is what my template looks like where I made the changes.

Edit 1:In the second attachment you can see a bit better how the table extends too far.

Edit 2: In the third attachment you can see a couple extra frames that I don't think should be there.

I read through the forum, but it didn't work.. I got this error:

line: 381
car: 1
error: 'pmBox' is undefined
Code: 0
URL: ...forumdisplay.php?f=3

even if I undo all changes. I still got that error.

What I did was, open dreamweaver, open file, "vbulletin-style.xml, I do a search replace & replace:

search:
<td class="alt2" valign="top" nowrap="nowrap">
replace with:
<td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap" <if condition="$bbuserinfo['pmunread']">id="pmBox"<else /> class="alt2"</if>>
<if condition="$bbuserinfo['pmunread']">
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
<!-- blink navbar on new pms -->
document.getElementById('pmBox').bgColor='$styleva r[thead_bgcolor]';
setInterval("Timer()", 500);
x=1;
function Timer()
{
set=1;
if (x==0 && set==1)
{
document.getElementById('pmBox').bgColor='$styleva r[tcat_bgcolor]';
x=1;
set=0;
}
if (x==1 && set==1)
{
document.getElementById('pmBox').bgColor='$styleva r[thead_bgcolor]';
x=0;
set=0;
}
}
-->
</script></if>

nothing else is done. Now, I hate the error java script message. By the way, does this work for vb3.0.7?

I got it to flash, but if I want it to flash Red, and background color what do I change in the code? I did this:

<!--
<!-- blink navbar on new pms -->
pmBox.bgColor='thead_bgcolor';
setInterval("Timer()", 500);
x=1;
function Timer()
{
set=1;
if (x==0 && set==1)
{
pmBox.bgColor='$stylevar[red]';
x=1;
set=0;
}
if (x==1 && set==1)
{
pmBox.bgColor='$stylevar[thead_bgcolor]';
x=0;
set=0;
}
}

but it still flashes dark grey and light grey.

Yes I have it working on 3.0.7 Just not the color I want.

i've just installed the mod and it works perfectly.
thanks a lot.
