Forums → Support Forum → Suggestion: NEW MESSAGE! Alert

Isn't that what we have the E-Mail Notification for? So... when someone comments on our Messenger, we'll be able to know immediately... through email. Which would make this idea a wee bit futile

Wow...
People have gotten so lazy, they can't make one click to find out if they have a message or not...
Just go to your profile and look.

The e-mail notification has already been implemented, and I find it fairly useless. Simply check your profile every once in a while!

Plus, I do not want NEW MESSAGE! Alerts every 5 seconds when I have my comments on.

Yes, I agree with Agent. The E-mail thing is rather annoying for comments though. Which is why I prefer it off.

Well sometimes I myself am jumping thread to thread and by the time I check my own profile I see comments 10-20 min old. I can see how this would work nicely. I mean its something you can live without but it wouldnt hurt.

I'm currently replying to messages that have been on my profile for six days and less... I neglect it a bit sometimes...

Really, an occasional jump to your profile is very easy... Though I do see NoName's point. For mods it would probably be a pretty useful feature, when they're busy with something...

Well, I guess it wouldn't be too bad if you were able to turn the option off...

@InTheZone:
I was thinking more about a little 'new profile comment' next to the username, not an actual popup window...... And it shouldn't be a new one for every comment, just 'new' not how many...
Wouldn't even need to update continuously, just every time they move onto a new page. Gives more space for modding games and forums and other peoples' profiles?

Just give a small red "NEW MESSAGE!" alert when someone messages/comments our profile. I would really appreciate it

Me?
No, I'm just disregarding the original shape of it and substituting it with a more discrete one because that is the way I think it would work best.
Trying to build on a suggestion to make it better? Someone could probably do the same to my interpretation...

Maybe having a flashing "new message" sign when the message was posted today, or when you haven't replied to that message yet? This could also go hand-in-hand with the "replying from:" message as well.

all I meant was.. for instance, my thing says

xxxxxRareSumo
Control Panel | LogOut


Just put the "New Messages!" in small red text where the x's are. People who are talking about pop-ups and this being intrusive obviously missed that.

As in:
Might be a bit more messy for people with long usernames...

Then the coding would need to register when there is a new message and it came after the last time you refreshed your profile page...

I was replying to IntheZone.

I guess the idea isn't so bad. I like it.
