Notification of PMs

Has the system changed at all. I haven't had that many but I'm sure that, in the past, a pop up has told me there's a PM. However, I've just noticed in the top right hand corner there's a very small "Notifications". Just realised that there's a PM that was sent to me on the 5th!

If you go to your private message area, you can use the General Settings (down left pane) to have a message pop-up when you receive a PM. You can also select to have an email sent to you when you receive a PM.

When the board was upgraded the other month, some of the settings individuals may have had in this regard may have defaulted to the standard settings I'm guessing.

Ah! That must have been what happened.

They shouldn't have changed but hey anything's possible! I think with the popup notification, if you 'ignore' it once (ie you have the popup show but you click cancel to ignore it) then it won't show again, maybe that's what happened.

I've sent you a test message now so hopefully you will have already had the popup notification now.

The pop up only appears if you navigate to another page on the site, after the pm has been sent. I have mine set to yes, but also have the email notification set to yes, so i get an email to my inbox (and the windows beep tha accompanies new emails) whenever i get a pm.
