Good mod however you have your elements mixed up in your product, you have

<a href="private.php">
<div style="display:scroll;position:fixed;bottom:-14px;right:-7px;" title="$vbphrase[unread_private_messages]" alt="$vbphrase[unread_private_messages]">
<img src="images/misc/new-mail-notification.png" />
</div></a>

But it should be

<div style="display:scroll;position:fixed;bottom:-14px;right:-7px;" title="$vbphrase[unread_private_messages]" alt="$vbphrase[unread_private_messages]"><a href="private.php">
<img src="images/misc/new-mail-notification.png" border="0"/></a>
</div>

Hi Simon,

I have implemented your code instead of the original one but the postman image is no longer displaying when I have a new pm :erm:

[Simon Lloyd]

Maybe you've left something out like an end > or something similar, it works fine on my forum vb3.8

[Simon Lloyd]

EDIT: one sec. thats because i have changed the image for me, see, it ends in .png, just change that to .gif and it will work fine

That made the trick ... Thank you Simon ... However still one more issue I hope you could fix it ... When I click the postman image in Google Chrome it takes me to the unopened pm :up: ... However the image is non-clickable in IE :erm: ... Is there any solution?

[Simon Lloyd]

if you swap the elements round as i have show in post #22 they should be clickable, that change is howed for just one of them within the product works fine for me in IE8.

Postman image is clickable now in IE with your modified code ... Many thanks Simon :up:

[Simon Lloyd]

Just make sure you change the other elements in the product to do the same, import product with overwrite and you'll be golden

Thanks. One request. Can you add DBtech usertag, quote postman notification
