ok, I would be helpful if you look and tell me what it is.

thank you very much

[smirkley]

sorry, forgot,

add an elseif after the pm notification

using $notifications_total instead of the pm notification

Thank you

[lobosnake]

I did not understand very well, my English is very bad and I use a translator, so this would be correct?

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


    </vb:if>
</vb:if>
	
<!--yobromofo.com end flashing message-->

thank you very much

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

<!--yobromofo.com flashing message-->
<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>
<!--yobromofo.com end flashing message-->

hello I served a lot, but still not get messages visit notify .
This is the code I am using:

<!--yobromofo.com flashing message-->
<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="{vb:link member, {vb:raw bbuserinfo}}{vb:raw userinfo.userid}&tab=likes_received"><img border="0" src="images/newpm.gif" width="24" height="11"></a>
<vb:else />
    </vb:if>
<!--yobromofo.com end flashing message-->

Can you think of any way to do?

[smirkley]

The first condition is for pm's

The second is for all other notifications(will not see it if there are pm's

Third condition is for no notifications.

You can insert text or variables after the image tag but before the </a> for different text for each condition, including username.
