When we receive a private message we do get a popup notification but most browsers do not allow popups and most just cancel that message. The suggestion i have is when we receive a message in addition to the popup box is it possible to have a number displayed next to the words "Private Messages" which is in the top left hand corner ? So if my browser were to complete block the popup i would still know i have a PM waiting for me. obviously the number would reflect how many new messages you have waiting.
