This is a port of this:

Not much was changed from the original, other than a few minor code changes. Don't know if it was done in the best way but it works. :D I don't know of a way this could be done without file edits. If anyone has any ideas, they're more than welcome. And I also plan on making this optional for users, so they can decide if they want this or the normal popup.

If you have vbadvanced installed, it still shows the normal popup on your homepage. But works correctly in the forum. Why it does this I don't know but I'm looking into it.

THX for this modification...

Is there a chance to hold the pm alert on top until the pm is viewed? Like here:

Replace his if statement with:

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['pmunread'] >= 1)

and unread pm's will alway appear. Also, it doesn't matter what their popup option is set to.
