Alert/Popup on New PM?

Would anyone be interested in getting a Javascript alert box or popup (DHTML) to inform them of new PMs?

This would be configurable in your preferences of course.

Another place I go to has this. While it would be a nice feature, I don't think it is really necessary. The big flashing PM thing is quite noticable as is.

Not to mention emails telling me i got new PMs, thats plenty notification for me, but if you make it, im sure to use it

The main thing that I get concerned with is the fact that many members miss or do not care about the PMs that get sent. I just want to make sure that people notice a new PM.

NO.

(I may or may not read the text later)

If this is added to the site I definitely think that it should be configurable in your user preferences. I agree with Tornado it would be a nice feature but it is not needed. I notice the the flashing graphic when I receive a new PM.

I agree with everyone else that it should be selectable, but I also think it is a good idea... depending on how it is done.

It might be a nice feature for some, but it should not be turned on by default for anyone. Pop-ups on the web are evil. To navigate the web I have a browser. To manage windows I have a window manager. Websites shouldn't try to do either,

I guess you didn't read my post when I said...

And it would be off by default except for new members.

I think there's nothing wrong with the way it is now. Subtle, yet clearly visible.

Okay. I guess I won't bother making this thing then...

but you originally didn't say

Well no real opinion on this issue, though as far as I'm concerned pm's are visible enough and if a person doesn't bother to notice them given everything that exists to that then its really their negligence. Better to leave it cleaner and let those who choose to read pm's read them and those who don't will be affected accordingly, but to make it even more visible seems to be a bit excessive to me.

Welcome to the site.

Well, this feature has been beaten to death. At least I don't have to code it .

i like the flashing PM on the top right
