I am using Blues MultiColor theme: http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=750
You have to remember to manually check to see if you have messages and was wondering if there was a mod or something that would alert you that you have messages whenever you log in.
I am on another forum and this pop-up box comes up if you have mail. It also pops up if you are lurking the forum and someone sends you a message. I don't need a fancy pop up box, even a simple text above the discussion area would work.
Any suggestions?
Maybe it isn't enabled. Profile => Personal Message Options => "Show a popup when you receive new messages?". Tick the checkbox to enable.
Thanks Johnny B, that's what I was talking about.
Is there a way to make this a forum default instead of having every user make this change? Maybe as an admin I can change it for everybody or send them a message to turn this on.
**Edit**
I also noticed that Firefox's built-in pop-up blocker blocks it from popping up.
**Edit2**
OK, I found a mod that makes it pop up in the active window (instead of default new window) so the pop-up blocker doesn't block it. The users have to have the checkbox ticked like Johnny B. posted above:

To make it default, read this topic.
