I hope you dont mind me editing it a little bit, but I wanted to slightly personalize this awesome template edit. Basically I edited it into this:
Code:
<center>
<a href="http://www.mydomain.com/private.php" style="text-decoration:none"><font size="4" color="#E3170D" style="bold">
<if condition="$bbuserinfo['pmunread']">You have a private message waiting to be read.</if></font></a>
</center>
Thanks for sharing! *marks as installed*
EDIT: Is there a way to correlate a number of private messages to the announcement" For example, if someone had 3 or 4 or 5 unread PMs, could the announcement read "You have 3/4/5 unread private messages" ???
