Here is a simple mod which will display an alert when the user logs on, alerting the user that there are PM waiting to be read:
The JavaScript:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
alert("You have messages!")
</script>
The place where this bit of JavaScript goes is in the "privatemess.asp" at this point:
<td align="center" bgcolor="<% =strForumCellColor %>" valign="middle">
<% if strDBNTUserName = "" Then %>
<IMG SRC="icon_pmdead.gif">
<% else
if pmcount = 0 then %>
<IMG SRC="icon_pm.gif">
<% end if
if pmcount >= 1 then %>
<IMG SRC="icon_pm_new.gif">
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
alert("You have messages!")
</script>
<% end if %>
<% end if %>
</td>
Thats it.
Will

would you be able to make it so it says
"you have new private messages" then have options to read or igonre. If the read option is selected, the user is deirected to their inbox, if ignore is selected, the box disappears until more messages are recived.
that would be excellent.
cheers.

Here is a more interactive alert box:
The VBScript:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBscript">
returnvalue=MsgBox ("Read the new private message?",36,"Private Message!")
If returnvalue=6 Then
window.location="pm_view.asp"
Else
End If
</SCRIPT>
The place where this bit of VBScript goes is in the "privatemess.asp" at this point:
<td align="center" bgcolor="<% =strForumCellColor %>" valign="middle">
<% if strDBNTUserName = "" Then %>
<IMG SRC="icon_pmdead.gif">
<% else
if pmcount = 0 then %>
<IMG SRC="icon_pm.gif">
<% end if
if pmcount >= 1 then %>
<IMG SRC="icon_pm_new.gif">
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBscript">
returnvalue=MsgBox ("Read the new private message?",36,"Private Message!")
If returnvalue=6 Then
window.location="pm_view.asp"
Else
End If
</SCRIPT>
<% end if %>
<% end if %>
</td>
This will allow the person to choose either to read the new message or carry on loading the main forum page.
try it

that is a javascript warning and NO you cannot get rid of that without signed certificates which is a whole other story.
I don't use javascript alerts because they can be rather annoying. Instead I have a message appear under the forum banner that tells the visitor that they have a message, it really gets their attention, that and the audio indicator that they receive.
you can give it a whirl along with the other features I have at my site by logging in with
user: snitz
pwd: snitz
