Title: Is there a way to get a popup/email when you have a new PM?
Post by: Cue-Ball on April 25, 2003, 01:25:10 pm

Most of the other boards that i belong to have this option and it comes in very handy.  I've had new PMs in my inbox for the last three days but didn't notice the little "3 are new" at the top of my screen.  I couldn't find anything in the options for this.

Click on the "# messages" at the top right.

Click on "preferences" when inside your In-box.

Change the "Notify by Email" to "yes".

Don't know if it works though as no-one has PM'd me since I changed this :)

It does work, I set it to yes and PM'd myself. Email came right away.

I sent myself an instant message how weird is that?

Not that weird unless you flamed yourself...  ;)
