pager: my plan
current version if you turn on the pager and auto refresh it, it will come to the front often, which is a little bit annoying.
my plan
add a field like pager_status 0/1 1=on
on every page e.g. inc_top.asp and other pages outside the forum add a check for pager_status,
if it's on, do the pm check and pop up like what already exists.
for the pager, it have 3 options
1. turn on check on every page (if you keep naviating around the site)
2. turn off option (and close the pager page)
3. show the pager as the current one, set refresh interval manually (need to add no refresh and include the buddy mod option to show all online members or buddy only (maybe with total online number))
4. set refresh interval and open a small (tiny) widow, without bars, out of the screen, any way possible to keep it refresh but don't bothering the user if there's no new PMs.
It's easy to do but I'm not a programmer and it will take me more time and get buggy code to work on it. Any one like the idea and make it?

Those are good ideas. The pager coming to the top at refresh was annoying and i set my refresh at a minute or more to minimize that problem.

it doesn't have to try to stay on top. Here's a tip, don't use the inc_top_short.asp. It will try to set the foucs of the pager as it does any other pop up page. Create your own top and in the body statement, don't set the ONLOAD="setFocus()" in the body statement. This will leave the pager in the background when it refreshes.
Another thing to do is add a link for "Refresh Now". where they can just click it to refresh. Displaying when the pager was last refreshed would be another good thing to do. For other ideas and implementation, check out the pager system for iamviet. you have to logon to see and use it though.
Sorry for letting you guys re-invent the well, but i can't release my pager code.  You'll doing pretty good mvaughn.

Excellent ideas!
I also just thought of another thing: A link to "report to admin" in case of harrassment.

I fixed the annoying popup feature of the pager on the demo site. When it refreshes now it doesn't try to get the focus.
I haven't updated the zip file with the changes yet. If you want to make this alteration all you need to do it edit the inc_top_pm.asp file and remove onLoad="window.focus()" from the body tag.
Thanks Alan for the suggestion.

I love that Flash chat, but have you had any feedback from mac users? I had to pull it because they found it unusable.

looks promising... great work!
I didn't have a whole lot of time to check it out. At a glance I didn't see how the chat function ties in with buddies and the PM mod.

I installed this too, but there is no way my webhost would allow me to keep it considering the drain on the server. Also, mac users have some problems with it. It's a shame, because overall it's the best I have seen.

Hi there
I would like to know if there is any way to integrate buddy_inc.asp with the pager pop-up, so as to see which of my buddies are online?
Thanx
Pieter

I think options 3 and 4 seem pretty feasable.
I could add the buddy list to the current pager and then have an option for current Buddies, or All current users (should be a few simple if.... thens... end if's.
As far as option 4 goes i know of a way in IE to popup a window that has no borders or menu bars. I believe that this will only work in IE and will display in a normal window in Netscape.
