Play Sound When Private Message Received - the Amy Way · **Released**: 03-17-2003

This hack is based off of one by EvilLS1 who also kindly contributed the wav file.

His hack plays a sound when the user visits the forumhome page if they have a new PM.

My version plays the sound on any page much the same as the PM popup works. In addition, my version has a usercp option for members to turn off sounds if they wish.

It's a rather easy hack to install.

I have a user that uses Opera only, he suggested I add this to the code so he didn't have a big empty space on the top of his browser.

Code:

<embed src="message.wav" autostart="true" hidden="true" width="0" height="0">

I thought I'd pass it along.

Thanks for this also.

Now opera users wont hunt me down and beat me with my IE

The sound only plays once when you receive a PM. I missed a couple of PM's due to the volume being off. Is there a way to make the sound keep playing, like a popup keeping popping up untill the message is viewed?

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