Possible Idea for PM...
Ok, maybe this is a silly idea, but how about having a javascript box pop up alerting you that you have PM's when you get one? The thing is, a lot of people dont bother putting on the email notification, and if they dont look up where the messages section is, they wont know they have PM's Wink I know for most of us it is not a problem, but for some people (like me Tongue) I just skip past that section when visintg forum pages.

Like i said, nobody may like it, but if they do its certainly a feature i would like Smile

Hi

I believe this has been mentioned in a thread before. Personally a pop-up javascript box would be enough for me not to visit this froum ever again <g>. But that's just IMO.

I prefer my idea of displaying your inbox and outbox like another forum on top (or at the bottom) of the forum list, like webmasters-forums.com. It works great there - check the screen shot I posted attached to the other thrad on this for a screen view of how this may look.

Cheers
