Just joined a new forums and they have a PM system like us but when you recive a PM the icon/text flashes makes it a lot more noticeable. Maybe you could get that into our PM system? Least for the subsilver2 style b/c it is really hard to tell if you have a new PM with this style and i don't wanna change it. Also, some PM's might be important so you might want to know right away instead of "oh i have a PM" 10 minutes later

I'm sure there's a way to bold it or make it red or something, I'll look into it.

It seems like more of a, "add on" type of thing. Its not needed but it would be cool when we have spare time from doing the more important stuff.

The PM notification should be red now when you have a new PM. Let me know if this is better!

Ahhh I wish I was here sooner :lol:

There is an option in which when you receive a PM, a window pops up stating you have one. It is used on these forums as I use it.

This makes it much easier if your online and receiving a PM. Just another suggestion in the case the red PM thing doesn't help.
