This is a very simple hack, yet I kinda like it.
Don't you just hate it when you write a long PM to someone, send it, and he doesn't even notice it?!
NO MORE!
Install this very easy hack and no one will be able to ignore the PM again.
This is almost just a template hack, but since it does involve editing a file and adding 4 lines of PHP code, it qualifies as a hack.
Sue me.
Anyway, what does this hack do?
Whenever you come to the forum main page, and you have any unread messages (even if they aren't new), the category strip that says "Private Messages" will blink.
Simple, but effective.
To see a demo of this, just send yourself a PM and see what happens. I'm sure you'll like it.
Installing this will take you 2 minutes if not less, it's very very simple.
I also don't expect too many support requests.
Anyway, have fun!

What BB are you using?
I don't know why you would be having it flash the wrong box.
Did you follow to a T.
I am using 2.2.1 just like here and followed the directions to a T and have it flashing the correct box, but When you have no PM it doesn't flash (correct) When you get PM it flashes (correct) When you read PM it stops flashing (correct) When you delete your PM it starts flashing (wrong)
I have even viewed the source here and configured the template correctly. It just keeps flashing if you delete your PM.
This leads me to believe that there must be a change or addition made to the root/index.php
Originally posted by Lucky I like the idea of this hack.
There is one bug with it though.
When you have no PM it doesn't flash (correct)
When you get PM it flashes (correct)
When you read PM it stops flashing (correct)
When you delete your PM it starts flashing (wrong)
When you delete your PM it should not flash any more, this is where the bug lives.
If someone is able to squash this bug please let me know what you had to do.
