That looks good Gem Maybe there could be a little popup box in the corner when you get a PM

Yeah thats kinda what I was thinking You know the PM Notifier code from the Coding Database on PBS? That has a flyout pop up box with a image then next to it a small table with "You have x new PM's", then underneath 3 options, "Read new PM, Read Later or Don't show again". That code is really annoying though because it flys out to the middle of the screen. That's why I though something less in your face, out of the way in one of the top corners - so you can see it's there but not stopping you from reading any posts/viewing the boards. And maybe just an image that when clicked on, takes you to the PM menu, so kinda a alert img and directing link in one, rather than a image with seperate text next to it?

We need something comical for the PM popup Like a plastic duck floats along the screen yelling "You have a new pm.. quack"? I like the orb idea Gem, it is a nice example. I was thinking also of possibly using a floating pm bar that sits at the top of the screen and floats down the screen as you scroll so you won't miss it.

We need something comical for the PM popup I think we have enough comical relief by a few of the members I still like the orb idea, that sounds pretty sweet lolz Thankyou I forgive you now... We need something comical for the PM popup Like a plastic duck floats along the screen yelling "You have a new pm.. quack"? I like the orb idea Gem, it is a nice example. I was thinking also of possibly using a floating pm bar that sits at the top of the screen and floats down the screen as you scroll so you won't miss it. Glad you liked it, I was Googling random stuff for ages trying to find something similar. When you say floating PM bar, do you mean something like this? ssdesigns.proboards.com/index.cgi?That doesn't scroll, it stays fixed when the person scrolls, but something similar? It would have to be narrow I reckon, so it doesn't overlap the boards at all coz that's quite annoying lol!

Probably the most amusing thing i has seen in a while There is no way anyone would miss their pm's using that. Waits for x to chat to me. If X can make the orb and choose where it should go i'll just add a "div" with css where it should go.
