anyone regardes to ^^ post

feel free to use it, it's not that a creative gif to claim special copyrights i'd say

[yoyoyoyo]

here are a couple others to try. I like the blinking PM thingy, but I always thought it was weird how it says "PRIVATE MESSAG" and the E is cut off, so I redid the text sizing and spacing to be a bit easier to read.

Thanks Guy G and yoyoyoyo for the info and gif, works great!

::edit:: I didn't notice this thread was from Janurary. Sorry for bringing back an old thread.

Here it is by me :
Open up the navbar template and find:

<td class="alt2" valign="top" nowrap="nowrap">

Replace with:

  <td  valign="top" class="alt2" <if condition="$bbuserinfo['pmunread']">style="background-image: url(images/pmbg.gif); background-repeat: no-repeat;"</if> nowrap="nowrap" >

Replace the pmbg.gif with your image of use this one if its allowed..

Once installed, you need to edit the "global.php" file. Comment out the line that reads:

eval('$footer .= "' . fetch_template('pm_popup_script') . '";');

how
eval('$footer .= "' . fetch_template('pm_popup_script') . '";'); gif file exsample pls
