vb.org Archive - New PM Alert (Replacement For PM Popup)

This is a port of this:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=59890

Not much was changed from the original, other than a few minor code changes. Don't know if it was done in the best way but it works. :D I don't know of a way this could be done without file edits. If anyone has any ideas, they're more than welcome. And I also plan on making this optional for users, so they can decide if they want this or the normal popup.
