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!

This doesn't work for me. It only half works. When someone recieves a new private message, the bar turns red, but it doesn't proceed to blink.

Is there anyway to make the same thing happen on other pages. Not just the main page.

Yes.

I've also integrated it into my "vbHome (Lite)" page successfully.

This is working fine for me on 2.2.8.

BUT

It's using the correct Table Heading Background Color, but is NOT using the correct Category Strip Background Color. I'm not sure what is causing this... or how I can fix it. Any ideas?

Ok.. it appears my Category Strip Background Color uses a .gif as part of it's path. So, in the forumhome_pmloggedin template, I just added the color code minus the .gif and it works fine.
