Private Messages Enhancements - Private message Animation

This cool little mod will simply enhance and add some fun to your Private Message alert and adds a little flash animation to the bottom right corner of your board. The flash mail box can then be clicked and will redirect to your private message box. Animation is based on forum home page but can easily be added to display on any page required or indeed every page and will dissapear when mailbox is read.

Added new MSN Style Pop up alert box


There are three animations you can use. including msn style pop up alert box

If anyone has a different path and needs this altering in the swf and fla please post and i will arrange this asap - thanks

Great mod, thanks!

Hello,
I don't have a way to compile the fla to swf and would like to take you up on your offer. My VBulletin address is:

http:vaguard.us/notepad

notepad is the forum. Thank you in advance for your time

No problem the attatched zip has the swf directed to .......... /notepad/private.php

This should fix the direct issue

Nailed it, thank you very much! Was wondering if there is one where the voice of the female is a little louder versus the sound of the mail box? The mail box sound steps on her voice. If not, no problem. Again thank you very much!!

[basilrath]

ill look into over the weekend ..............

[basilrath]

Trish ...........

I have added the code into your templates and you will need to upload the attatched swf to your forum root so the path is as follows:

http://www.soulsnpirates.com/you-got-mail.swf

in other words after you have uploaded the attatched swf you should be able to check its existance via the link above meaning the animation should then work within the code on site.

This should then work
