Blinking "private Message" help

ok i searched and i see that the vbtempalates page merged witht his one.. so i cnanot find any help to this

ok SEARCHED for blink and flashing for the pm things so that way they flash..

my friend has a vBulletin where he has the actual words Private Message to flash red when you get a new pm instead of editing it to where it just displays a flashing "Private Message" over the top "welcome so-so you last visited blah blah "

would you know how to achive this modification?

i just want the words that are already there "priveate messages" to blink red when you get a new pm

not the little mail symbol to blink or words overlapping the actual vb text thats already there..

anyone else know how to mod this?

I recommend going with an animated image.

Code:

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

        animated image goes here

</if>

Additional Bonus Information: :D

The CSS "blink" property does not work on all browsers.
Yes, this could be done via javascript but that's a waste of "space" (eg. additiaonl code) for something so trivial.
The animated gif trick will work on all browsers. NOTE: Leave original pm message (Private Messages: 0 Unread, Total 149) intact as some people may have images turned OFF.
