Blinking PM notification bar for vB3.0.3 · **Released**: 08-08-2004

*** PM Notify Blink R.9

I based this off of Chen's Vb2 PM Notify Hack. I had released this for 2.0 as well - mine was a bit different from his. I rewrote it for vB3 and wasn't going to release it but have seen a couple requests for something like it so here it is. I do not have stock templates on my forums (and didn't keep a copy of them on there) so I'm not sure that the template lines I am having you look for are exactly what I have in this file. Please let me know what you find and I'll change the text. The screen shots show the two colors that it blinks between by default.

There are a couple of modifications on vBT - Gary's works on IE, mine works cross-browser (IE,Moz,Opera,etc) ...

EDIT: integra: your code above is not valid html - try <script type="text/javascript"> instead of <script language="Javascript">.... also it's best never to hard-code bgcolor anymore - this also is deprecated: try using CSS style definitions... it will make your code move down the style parent/child structure better as well...

That's ok, I'll pass on that. People on here get too ate up with who made what, who gets the credit for this or that. I'm not the greatest at this, but what I do is out there for anyone to use. If you want to take what I started and make it your own, have at it. If it makes your wang bigger to think you wrote it all by yourself, more power to you.. I don't care.

That script works for my board just fine. If someone wants to make it intercompatible, have at it. I won't be.

On a side note, I've had a half dozen people contact me with questions regarding what I did. I don't mind helping people out, I'm just not going to twiddle away hours of my time writing something I don't need. If anyone has questions or needs help, PM/IM is acceptable.

Tosspot - it's got nothing to do with my or anyone else's wang ...

/me sighs

It's obviously a waste of time to explain intellectual property - if you check out the code you "wrote" and then visit the thread on vBt started by Gary W relating to THIS EXACT HACK - the javascript you "wrote" is IDENTICAL. Now I have no idea about his or your wang (whatever that has to do with writing PHP and javascript) - he wrote this javascript - he should get the credit.

Additionally, check out the datestamp on the thread links from my sig - "Hover Effect..." you will 1) find code that works cross-browser to provide this same functionality dated months ago and 2) realise you are (as I mentioned above) a tosspot.

/me waves bu-bye

Maybe you should talk to the creator of this thread, because I took what he had, mixed it up a bit to suit my needs, then just posted it back on the internet. I don't recall seeing any copyrights in his thread.. Nor do I recall putting my name on it anywhere.

It's one thing to steal someone's book and copy it, or a 10 page term paper.. but I posted what, 10 lines of code that I speifically said "HEY, I REWROTE THIS FOR MY NEEDS, YOU CAN USE IT." Also, what's a tosspot? Is that like the a nice way of calling someone a ....

I'm fully aware of intellectual property rights, I deal with them frequently trying to keep employees from bringing their opies of Office in and installing them on our systems here at work.

Then you didn't read the terms of use of vbulletin.org - all work is copyright to the original poster!
