Hi, all. Just a quick question for everyone. Is anyone having any trouble with the PM alert system on the forum? The reason I ask is that the plugin has a feature where, if you choose to close an alert without reading the PM, it deactivates the alerts on your account, but you are then presented you with an option to reactivate the PM alerts when you eventually read your message, either by replying to the message, sending a new message or clicking a button. The issue I'm having at present is that, even after reactivating PM alerts and opening all PMs by clicking the alerts, I am still getting the option to reactivate them in the top left hand corner of my the message I'm reading. It's not a major issue, but I do think the system is a great addition to the forum as it ensures PMs are not left unread or unanswered, and we avoid the need to post "PM for whatsisname...." on the forum, as that can become annoying if it happens to frequently. Anyway, if anyone else is having this problem, please let me know, and I'll downgrade the PM alert plugin to an earlier version, and hopefully that will rectify the problem until the author publishes another update. Cheers!

Cheers, mate. It still alerts me that I need to click to continue receiving PM alerts, but the PM pop up still works. oh well. It could be an issue with the many plugins active on here, but it's going to be far too time-consuming to isolate which one(s), it could be any combination of plugins combining to cause the issue.
Hopefully the author will issue an update soon, until then I'll leave it as it is, unless it becomes a pronlm for anyone.
As always, everyone please feel free to let me know if they have any issues.
Cheers.

On the mobile, not app, version I get a nice number appearing by the messages button. Seems to work each time, mind you I might have 700 unread ones that never got a number!

Hi, all.
I'm just in the process of testing an alternate PM alert system, the alerts on this one show up in the bottom right hand corner of the screen, as opposed to the old system at the top. Please feel free to test it out by sending me a PM and I'll reply, then you can see how it works and hopefully provide me with some feedback.
The system should work on PC, tablets and other mobile devices running in 'Desktop' mode.
Cheers!
