I am not sure how hard it would be but it would be nice if we had an option in our accounts to have a pop up if we have a private message. The little private message indicator is easily overlooked (at least for me) and I don't get a lot of PMs so I generally don't look for it.

Thanks

Not a bad idea Ed - I will give that some thought. I also will have to consider that many people run a popup blocker. I will brainstorm and see if I can find some ways to make it stand out when there is a new message.

pop ups should be working now. will come up on upper left part of screen anytime you have an unread message. If you wish to disable popups, you can in the settings while in the PM system (toward bottom).

Thank you - my pop up blocker blocked it on me today but I should have the fixed now. Thanks for the quick work.

Well that sucks lol. It was constructed in such a way that it was unlikely to be blocked......but apparently with some systems it will be. I tested on chrome and edge and only with a norton plugin and it was fine. Well at least you can allow popups if blocked. It makes new PM's very obvious so hopefully its useful to everyone.

thanks for the idea and feedback Ed!
