Boofo-

You added both chunks of code? I only added the first code to private.php

hmmm, ok, now the message appears to be marked read, but still getting the pop-ups for a new PM.

I wasn't getting any errors either but I added both codes just to be safe. Try it and see if that fixes the pop-up problem. The pop-up will only be gone when you are in the private.php. It will still work everywhere else. ;)

But, if I add that code, what about users who don't have get email on new PM selected in the User CP? Will they still get pop-ups for new PM's?

That will only work if they have email notification set to on. Otherwise it works as normal. Besides, it only stops the pop-ups while you are in the private.php (your messages). You really don't need it there anyway, right? ;)

I guess I might not be making my problem clear. The new PM popup happens on forumhome, even though I have selected yes to the email notification for new pms, and receive them via email.

Does the code that is added to global.php stop the new PM pop-ups on forumhome, if you select to receive pms via email?

No, it only stops it if you are in your private messages. The only way to stop it on the forumhome is to turn it off in your options. Is that what you are trying to do? Turn it off on forumhome, too?

No, I guess I may have miss-understood what the extra code does. If we are making the PM's read once the email is sent, it makes no sense to also get a pop-up for the same PM on forumhome. I thought that was taken care of with the code changes....

Well, I just tried it and I don't get the pop-up on forumhome with the email turned on. With it turned off, I do. I also have a blinking "You've got mail" type message whenever there is a new message and it doesn't blink with email turned on, so it is working as it is supposed to. Did you use the new code (with receipt=2 in it) for the query? That code should cancel any pop-ups at all since it actually queries the db to say that message has been received. You must have something else going on somewhere.

I don't get it too. The popup should not happen if the PM is read.
