Private Messages Enhancements - Private message Animation

This cool little mod will simply enhance and add some fun to your Private Message alert and adds a little flash animation to the bottom right corner of your board. The flash mail box can then be clicked and will redirect to your private message box. Animation is based on forum home page but can easily be added to display on any page required or indeed every page and will dissapear when mailbox is read.

Added new MSN Style Pop up alert box


There are three animations you can use. including msn style pop up alert box

If anyone has a different path and needs this altering in the swf and fla please post and i will arrange this asap - thanks

Ok Toxic

Logged in with your user details and fixed the code

Sent you a test pm so you will see it working on your site

All working fine now

ps remember vbulletin inherits the default and this is coded into your "black style" so if you want all styles code into vbulletin default.

This code will allow you to have a clock to the right of the forum ............ white font (this can be edited via the fla breakdown)

just change the path to suit your forums

attatched onlineclock.swf

PHP Code:

<!-- Begin of clock script -->  
<div align="right" style="margin:10px 20px 0px 0px">
<embed src="www.yoursite.com/forum/onlineclock.swf" width="90" height="40" quality=high pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" bgcolor="#ffffff"></embed> 
</div>
<!-- End of clock script -->
