* For security issues - vbulletin.org will contact all members who have installed a modification whenever a security issue is brought to their attention.

$output = str_replace($find, $replace, $output);
}

Thanks for this, from this i was able to just put it manually in template using

<vb:if condition="$vbulletin->userinfo['pmunread']">
    <a href="private.php?"><img border="0" src="images/newpm.gif" width="22" height="10"></a>
</vb:if>

which worked beautifully where i needed it to be.

Why do a manual template edit, vs something automatic?

Because i use https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=257261 which throws your mod off.

[ozzy47]

Ahh, well then that makes sense, thanks for the clarification.

[itilm]

great

[ozzy47]

Thanks, but I see you did not download it, so not sure what the great is for.

I have a question regarding the ozzmodz_mods folder in the upload folder. Should I upload that folder into the forum directory or go one folder deeper into the new pm notice folder? Thanks ozzy and keep the amazing mods coming!
