Sorry. My setup is very custom, so I tried to apply it to code for you by using your example. You can add text and/or hyperlinks in any of the three conditions, but this should do the trick for the basic image setup. Untested, but should work for the newpm.gif

<vb:if condition="$bbuserinfo['pmunread']" />
    <a href="private.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}"><img border="0" src="images/newpm.gif" width="24" height="11"></a>
<vb:elseif condition="$notifications_total" />
    <a href="private.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}"><img border="0" src="images/newpm.gif" width="24" height="11"></a>
<vb:else />
    
</vb:if>
