2) Anyway to keep the notice there until the pm is read? If you leave the forum and come back, or if you refresh, or if you move around in the forum, the notice disappears, and you missed the pm notice.

3) What about adding a blinker to it? Or a blinking or highlighted text to alert the member a pm is waiting?

1: Change:

PHP Code:

        if (empty($pm_avaurl))
        {
            $showpm_ava = false;
        }
        else
        {
            $showpm_ava = true;
        } 


To:

PHP Code:

        if (empty($pm_avaurl))
        {
            $pm_avaurl = 'path/to/default/avatar.gif';
            $showpm_ava = true;
        }
        else
        {
            $showpm_ava = true;
        } 


2: *code removed* will cause un-disired results, I will update the hack with a better version of this soon

3: you can do so by editing to pm_new_globals to your liking, I made this because I dis-liked the blink, but there is no reason why you can-not add it
