Re: New messages link
[Have you removed the old navbar? As you should keep it in your page but hidden in order to access this information.
If you have kept the old navbar you can do this:

Re: New messages link
I'd recommend adding it back into the page but in a hidden DIV, so you can access the information it provides.

Which infos do I need?
Re: New messages link
Well you need the private message info, thats what this thread is about
Just put the old navigation bar back, but in a div with style display:none. I know you know what I mean lol.
then the script in my posts above can be used.

Re: New messages link
Rideem is right, just anything in the IF statement.
The best thing to do (imo) is to have a widget/announcement (anywhere which takes HTML) and design yourself a pop up. Make it look nice and however you want it then stick 'style="display:none" on it so it is hidden. Then in the if statement put:
Which will mean your pop up will popup whenever there is a new message.
I also shared a tutorial on your site of a good way of making a nice pop up using a template trick.

Put this in an announcement or template or somthing:
- Code:
<div class="popupclass" id="privmsgpopup">You received a new message. Read it</div>
<script>
if(document.getElementById('i_icon_mini_new_message')) {
document.getElementById('privmsgpopup').style.display = '';
