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!

I checked in my styles and don't believe they are the same.

I have a problem. When using IE it flashes, but when I use Opera it doesn't, and I'm sure JS is enabled in Opera. Any ideas?

Maybe Opera just doesn't support that code.

Ok, I read, and there were so many posts here.

I installed this hack, just like FireFly said, and right outta the box it works awesome.

My only question is:

I want the bar to blink yellow ( #FF0000 ) but I am not totally sure as to where to put that.

Can someone just give me a little nudge as to where to put that, I really appreciate it.

Hey Chen I have a ? for you. How can you set the color of the blinking PM bar? The color it is now doesn't work b/c it's almost the exact same color as the cat. bar it's on and it's hard to tell when it's flashing. How do I make it whatever color I want? Thanks and great hack!
