<!-- PM Blink -->

<tr><td class="page" align="center">
<a href="private.php?$session[sessionurl]"><img src="$stylevar[imagesfolder]/newpmblink.gif" border="0" /></a>
</td></tr></if>
<!-- End PM Blink -->

I put it in the navbar template right before the last </table>

I attached a .gif for you to use, but you can make your own if you like. Put the .gif file in your images directory.

You can add extra code in the script to redirect the browser info so it works also for other browsers.

Is it possible to add an "else" statement, so a "no pm" gif gets replaced by a "have pm" blinking gif?

thankis smartgnome, works perfectly. I used this....

<if condition="$bbuserinfo[pmunread] != 0">
<a href="private.php?$session[sessionurl]"><img src="images/pmonbar.gif" width="135" height="15" border="0"></a>
<else />
<a href="private.php?$session[sessionurl]"><img src="images/pmoffbar.gif" width="135" height="15" border="0"></a>
</if>

To produce this effect in my sidemenu....
