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 have seen vB versions throughout the site 2.2.XX is this a different VB Forum software?

If you are asking if vBulletin 2 is different from vBulletin 3, then the answer is yes. It is coded complete different, and vB2 hacks will not work on vB3.

Hi MarcoH64... Is vB2 an old version or a completely different forum?

That's not actually the same - it doesn't blink the "welcome" box.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
