Whenever I get a private, the alert is somewhat camoflaged against the rest of the printing. What if you had a "new message" alert either flash on and off, or just make it maybe red in color. Very easy to miss, as it is now. You couldn't miss it if it was flashing.

Great Idea! I have missed a few by not noticing them right away too.. :sad:

 

[schmedlap]

I agree, there should be something better than what we have now! Whaddayouthink webmaster?

Assuming this doens't break people (its javascript, and a bit finicky), I'll leave that blinking function in place. (send yourself a private message so you can see the alert).

Thanks B-Man works great..!!

 

[B-Man]

if anyone sees any weirdness, or javascript errors, shoot me an email.

I'll leave it unless I hear that its breaking a bunch of people.

Whoops... I had a bug in the code that would affect netscape users.

I *think* i have it fixed now. :wink:

It works great on IE, however, I use Netscape and there is no message alert at all now. I seem to have caused you a bit of a headache, but it sure is nice when it flashes!

 

[B-Man]

Are you sure? You didn't read the private message (which will flip off the "new" flag). its working on netscape here as well as IE.

Which version of NES and on what OS?

I *can* change the blink rate if needed.

B-Man, I think the blinking private message would get noticed a lot better if it blinked a little faster myself. :smile:

About PM's again..... Is there a way you can make it so that when someone sends me a private message, in a reply, that I can have the message I sent to him to relay to? I will get a message from someone and have no idea in he** what they are talking about! :lol:

 

[B-Man]

let me know if you want it to blink faster... and I am working on a fix for Netscape 6.x

As far as keeping track of what you sent in PM, sorry. The software would take much more work that I am capable of to fix that. Unless there was a way I could force quoting.. dunno.
