Info bar when new pm recieved.

You know in windows SP2 you have the yellow bar at the top telling you when a popup has been blocked, this is what this script does when one of your users has got a new private message and stays until they have read it.

Really like the idea, but I cannot find this in my header template: <!-- logo -->

[kurtbarker]

hey mate... maybe you installed a modification that removed that line, because it is in the header template... see below for my header code

<!-- logo -->

<if condition="$bbuserinfo['pmunread']">
<div id="infobar"><a href="http://www.commodorelife.com/forums/private.php"><p>You have an Unread Private Message, Click here to view. . .</p></a></div>
</if>

<a name="top"></a>
<table border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">

     <td align="$stylevar[right]">
<a href="goto.php?section=about$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[gtcustom_about_header]</a> | <a href="goto.php?section=privacy$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[gtcustom_privacy_header]</a> | <a href="goto.php?section=terms$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[gtcustom_terms_header]</a> | <a href="goto.php?section=sitemap$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[gtcustom_sitemap_header]</a>
        &nbsp;
    </td>

<tr>
	<td align="center"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]"><img src="$stylevar[titleimage]" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" /></a></td>
</tr>
</table>
<div align="center">$phpAds_raw[html]</div> 
<!-- /logo -->

<!-- content table -->
$spacer_open

$_phpinclude_output

$welcomeheaders

try inserting the required code at the very top of the header template, as that is where the <!-- logo --> line would be

Maybe one to notice users that they have to read forum rules. The bar shows up until they click on it. In settings make field where admins will add url to forum rules.

Suggestion/Question...its possible the bar follow the screen...??
