message alert

[bored_onion]

would there be a way of making the user more aware that they have a new message?

dialogue box? sound? flashing text?

any thoughts?

I get an email whenever I get a new message... it may be an option somewhere in the preferences to turn that on.

[bored_onion]

true but i was thinking of one which was noticeable on the ofpec forum page itself

[dmakatra]

Theres the 'XXX are new' thingy. That's on the forum itself ain't it?

:beat: *Gets Shot* :beat:

[bored_onion]

yeah but is there a way of making it more noticeable because im always missing them - god this sounds trivial

[BigBonga]

erm, heres a radical idea:
everytime you log on to the forum tke a peek at the bit in the top right that tells you if you have any messages.
if you are that keen to get them then a simple look isnt too much to ask. ;D

[bored_onion]

you guys are right
im being an a$$hole
