It looks like they just added the text and image to their header template and linked the image to their registration page. Then when someone registers, they get a welcome PM.
It seems more like deceptive registrations than an actual PM notification.
All it does is to point to register.php; that can be accomplished by just using a style conditional....
Quote:
<if condition="$show['registerbutton']">
You have a new PM! Click here <a href="$vboptions[bburl]/register.php$session[sessionurl_q]" rel="nofollow">here</a> to read it!
</if>
Of course you should then have your vB configured to generate a new PM to new users so once they do register then they will in fact have a new PM.
Place it in your header or navbar templates where ever you want it to appear
As FRDS said, you can put it really wherever you want it to appear. In the example link you gave, it was the "navbar" template that appeared to be modified.
Depends on what text/graphics you're using. If you want to duplicate the example link you gave, they are using an animated GIF file (the same one that is being used here at vB.org). Because the GIF is what is being animated then you do not have to do anything special, just use the html <img> tag to display the graphic.
If you post the code you've done so far, we can point you in the right direction.
