Private message notice should be enabled

Hi

Ive sendt and got some PM`s , but why isnt there a notice about a new message without enabling email notification manually?
Shouldnt that be enabled for all, or maybe have a message on the front page when theres a new message?

Alot of people dont seem to read PM`s for a long time due to this, me included (until i set it to email me).
Before i enabled it, i could only see if there was new PM`s byt checking manually on my settings menu / inbox

Don't worry Ola.

I've seen you've sent me a pm. Just haven't gotten the time to answer yet. Will do later today

Hehe no problems.. But you are just one of many.. And most say they havent seen there was a new message, so it would be a good thing to fix, to improve the forum..

I have turned this facility on, however be aware that "pop-up blockers" will disable it.

Also it was turned on a long time ago and some people reported it as being annoying

Sorry to resurrect an oldish thread, but I've never received any such pop-up window in BigJimny giving notification of a PM and as a result have recently missed some PMs.

The following info will only be helpful to anyone using Mozilla Firefox

As I use Mozilla Firefox, I went through all my settings and found that everything seemed blocked by default (the only site that wasn't is my old SAAB forum where I'm still a moderator and where I do receive pop-up notifications when I'm PM'd

For anyone using Mozilla Firefox and wanting to get these notifications check your settings in Firefox by...
opening Firefox Options.
In the left side menu open Privacy & Security, then scroll down to find Permissions - Here you may find you have a tick in the box that says "Block pop-up windows" leave the tick there, but look to the right where it says "Exceptions" and open that box, type in www.bigjimny.com then click on "Allow" and then at the bottom "Save Changes" - hopefully that should fix it.

I've yet to prove this actually works, but as the only other "allowed site" is the SAAB TechTalk forum where I do receive notifications , the chances are it will.
