Thread: private message pop up

i saw private messages only pop up if you refresh the page, does there is any way like counter to check every certain amount of time if there is a private message arrive, also if we can assign a tone or sound alert in case we receive private message, can we browse to select the tone.

I hope this is new idea!!

You can auto refresh the page after sometime if you want. Many Firefox plugins can do that.

don't do that.
what if you are writing a big a** text and then, omg, it automaticly refreshes and all you novels are gone.

I am just trying to automate the process as much as possible, my job depend on that

Well, there is no need of seeing the popup window instantly, as it could be really annoying if you are reading or writing some post and them that pop-up window suddenly comes up.. It is possible to implement using jquery bu better not be..

I don't think there's any way to do that.The only option is to install Check for change->add-on for Firefox.

that's lame. i have Check4Change and i know how it works.
you have to keep a tab running in the background, to let it refresh the page automatically (waste of bandwidth). and when smth changes in that page, it will notify you.

i think while you're doing your regular t-i browsing, you are bound to click a link, at which point you receive the pop-up warning. you may lose a couple of valuable seconds but you keep things simpler and internet speed up.


*though i recommend Check4Change for trackers that have open sign-ups

Instead of automatically refreshing the page, there are other ways of adding the feature. One way would be some kind of ajax script that alerts you when you receive a pm. The questions is whether or not such a feature is worthy of being added and I don't believe it is. The current system if fine and I don't see the real urgency in viewing a pm. Most likely if I'm posting in a thread, I likely won't read the pm, even if it pops up right away with such a feature, until after I'm done doing what I was doing.
