Re: Can we get a pop-up whenever we get a PM?
It's not that same sort of DHTML notification, but you can get a Javascript alert of a new PM by setting:
User CP->Edit Options->Messaging & Notification->Private Messaging->Show New Private Message Notification Pop-up
User CP->Edit Options->Messaging & Notification->Private Messaging->Show New Private Message Notification Pop-up

Private Messages pop-up notifications not working?
Of the private messages ive done for the past week (on and off), I haven't gotten a single pop-up notification for any of them. I didn't even know I had any messages till I checked my emails.
I remember in the past (as I don't private message much) I used to get them, but not as of lately. Nothing has changed as im still using the same browser (Opera), and I have double checked my preferences to make sure I have pop-up notifications turned on, which I do but im still not getting them for some reason or another.

I can't remember if/when I last saw such a pop-up but assume that is down to my set-up.
However, I do scan the top right of the page - below the cover shots and my member name - when logging on where, next to the "Private Messages" link, the number unread is shown.
It is funny how instinctive this quick check becomes but, when I've been on regular/reliable email, that notification has been an adequate prompt.

I don't recall ever getting a pop-up notification. I'm slowly learning to check that area for unread messages, not that I PM much.
I'm actually anti-PM. Just email me if you want to contact me. Why should I have to check multiple inboxes? Everything in one place is much more convenient imo.
