 Anyway of having a Pop Up or something similar to announce you have a PM.

It is far too over to the right at the moment and unless you have the window full screen you dont always notice you have one waiting for you.

Obviously there is no need to move the box as such but maybe a pop up box to let you know you have mail would be handy :)

 Hi Exochat;
No pop ups for us, lol. The icon is spinning for you when you have a new PM right? I could make it flashier, but wanted something subtle that still was obviously spinning. Please advise. Thanks!

 It isnt so much the subtle factor, more the fact I am having to go to the left/right scroll bar on my computer and drag across to even find the box. It isnt so much of a problem if you have your browser full screen, it is only on a laptop when you arent full screen mode is it an issue for me.

Don't worry about it, I will just have to get used to remembering to look for new messages everytime I log in, and apologies to anyone that PM's me and doesnt get a reply back very quickly lol

 Maybe set your laptop desktop to a better resolution so that it all fits in normally? Don't know if that is doable on your laptop. Just an idea.

 nah its at the maximum for my laptop, and even on full screen browser window it only has half the box showing without scrolling further.

Its Ok.... just need to get into the habit of checking each day just in case any of you love me and want to send me cheeky messages LOL

 It probably does that because it appears to be a "fixed" style and not a "fluid" one that changes along with your screen resolution.

(Just a guess though.)

It only takes up a small area of my widescreen laptop screen:

 It is fixed at 900 pixels wide, which is wide enough, lol

 Exochat, don't play coy. Was that your way of asking me to send you cheeky PMs, you little devil!?

 With a quote of "Let me spank you" under your username, what can a guy do but consider how to accept the offer discreetly ;)

lol

On second thought let me rethink this.  :(

 I noticed that it's impossible to open PM's from Opera (9.52). I had to start -yeechh - Internet Exploder to read the PM..

 Opera 9.60 was released just the other day - Shouldn't have any trouble opening PMs in it or previous versions really hmmm...

Anyway - perhaps the below graphics could be of help to make the new pm stand out a bit more. If interested - I'd be happy to color the graphics so that it matches the orange skin ;)

Let me know if interested :)

Jacquii.
