Yeah, putting that bar at the top in the header is awful Usability. It took me about 5 minutes to find where I login with the new layout, the fact the form box is aligned on top of an advert does not help at all.

You're just doing this to get loads of PMs

What is the point in PM'ing him when he has no clue where to look for them ?

The old forum used to display "You have 0 messages" (or on rare occasions "You have 1 message", etc).

But now I can't see anything like that. So for all I know there may be half a dozen urgent messages stacked up.

Could someone PM me, just to see what happens?

TIA

Also up in the very top right is "Settings", click this and then on this page in the left hand menu is a link for "General Settings" - http://forums.contractoruk.com/profi...do=editoptions

Go there and find some PM options, whether to send an email or pop up an alert box on receipt of a new message.

Where's the "Disable the bastard football" option?

Ah I see it now, after searching quite hard. Thanks Churchy.

It's a tiny inconspicuous strip right at the top of the screen.

Somewhere in your options you have the option to turn on or off the pop-up message when you get a message, I think that the old forum defaulted to giving you the pop-up.

I found the notification at the top of the screen was good enough for me to turn the pop-up off. Having said that I had better check now to see if I have any messages that I had missed.



EDIT: No, no messages so it is working out fine for me.

If it says 'Billy'. It means you don't have any.

And if it says "Boring W4nker" you've logged in as MarillionFan.

Look at the "Notifications" option on the top menu bar.
