// blinking PM & details hack...
if ($bbuserinfo['pmunread'] > 0)
{
	$getmessages = $DB_site->query("
		SELECT pmtext.pmtextid, pmtext.fromusername, pmtext.fromuserid, pmtext.dateline, pm.pmid, user.userid, user.usergroupid, 
			COUNT(pmtext.fromuserid) AS fromusertotal FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "pmtext AS pmtext 
			LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "pm AS pm USING(pmtextid) 
			LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user AS user ON (user.userid=pmtext.fromuserid) 
			WHERE pm.userid=$bbuserinfo[userid] AND messageread=0
			GROUP BY pmtext.fromusername ORDER BY user.usergroupid ASC
	");

	while ($privatemessage = $DB_site->fetch_array($getmessages))
	{
		$usertotal = $privatemessage['fromusertotal'];
		if ($usertotal  == 1)
		{
			$privatemessagebit .= ', <a href="/forums/private.php?'.$session['sessionurl'].'do=showpm&pmid=' . $privatemessage['pmid'] . '">' . $privatemessage['fromusername'] . '</a> - ' . vbdate($vboptions['dateformat'], $privatemessage['dateline'], true);
		}
		else
		{
			$privatemessagebit .= ', <a href="/forums/private.php?'.$session['sessionurl'].'do=showpm&pmid=' . $privatemessage['pmid'] . '">' . $privatemessage['fromusername'] . '</a>(' . $privatemessage['fromusertotal'] . ')';
		}

		$from_group = 'imsg.gif';
		if (in_array($privatemessage['usergroupid'], array(5,6,7)))
		{
			$from_group = 'imsg2.gif';
		} 
	}

	$privatemessagebits = substr($privatemessagebit , 1);

	$privatemessages = '<img style="vertical-align: middle;"  border="0" src="'.$stylevar['imgdir_misc'].'/' . $from_group . '" alt="You have a PM!" /> from ' . $privatemessagebits;
	$vbphrase['blinkpm'] = construct_phrase($privatemessages, $privatemessages);
}

and then the updated template change for the phrase:

<br />
<if condition="$bbuserinfo['pmunread']"><phrase>$vbphrase[blinkpm]</phrase><else />
<if condition="$show['pmstats']"><phrase 1="$vbphrase[unread_x_nav_compiled]" 2="$vbphrase[total_x_nav_compiled]" 3="$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[private_messages_nav]</phrase></if></if>

hope that helps.

thanks a lot for this fix Bob!!
