Hey Everybody,
In this forum is a new feature. It's an instant message alert. Basically, a little yellow window (not a pop-up) will appear in the middle of your screen when you have a new instant message telling you how many new instant messages you have. It'll only appear if you have a new instant message. If you click on it, a new window will pop up taking you to your instant message inbox.
I'd like to know what you guys think about this. Would you like it implemented in the rest of the forums? Feel free to ask questions or give comments.
Sincerely,
[glow=green,3,300]Snotty ;D[/glow]

I think it's a great idea, I never think to look up at the top to see if I have any messages, sometimes after I'm done on the boards I don't go back into my email so I miss what messages I have until I come back on.
Godd idea snotty ;D

No... it's irritating to have things shoved in your face like that. The current heading that we have is good--it's easy to see at a glance, yet stays out of the way.

I clicked "no" but I meant "yes"  I like the idea of an alert. That way, if someone needs you NOW you will know it. Sometimes I'm here for hours (not non stop-I just leave it open) and I don't notice the IM until the other person has signed off... 
So change one no vote to yes, please ;D

I like it. If you use the back & forward buttons alot, you don't see the PM header half the time because the browser remembers how far down the screen you were.

PIC, Bill [/color][/quote] This wouldn't be any different. It just checks and see's if the page you have says "new message" on it. So it'll only be up to date on a page that you just went to. Sincerely, Snotty ;D |

So change one no vote to yes, please ;DHeya, I was going to vote 'No', but figured I'd counter your mistake for you and voted 'Yes'. To me, I'm with Delirium Trigger. But it's not a big deal either way, so I'll give you my vote, sister, to even it out. ;D I have gotten some PMs (is this PMs or IMs?), and haven't seen anything pop up. Of course, I don't have AIM or anything (well, I do have Yahoo!Messenger, but I don't really use it much), so perhaps this doesn't really pertain to me. Unless it's the IM thing, and it works with Y!M, and...well, neeeeeeevermind!  Blessings, HITR |

I had 2 IM's today and no yeller box! I have gotten several IMs since this thread started and haven't seen a single yellow box. But I have it set to e-mail me when I get an IM so no worries from me. But I did vote yes when I first came to this thread. |
