PM Alert In Navbar

[Ezswo]

Hi all,

I tried to make an PM alert in my navbar. When there's no private message it has to show "Private Messages" ($vbphrase[private_messages]). When there IS one or more new private messages it has to show "New Private Messages". I tried to use the following code:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo['pmunread']"><a href="/private.php"><strong>$vbphrase[new_private_messages]</strong></a>&nbsp;?&nbsp;
<else /><if condition="$show['member']"><a href="/private.php">$vbphrase[private_messages]</a>&nbsp;?&nbsp;</if></if>

Now, the problem is: it only works when I'm the User CP and not in every other page I go to (i.e. it's not showing when I'm on the forum-page). How can I get this to work on ALL pages, so the alert is always visible? Thanks for your help.
