Toast always lands butterside down.
Attach to back of cat always lands on feet......

Result:Antigravity!

I think a pop up should appear every time you get a message so if you send an important message to I don't know a bungie moderator then you can get it answered quickly.

Then they'd have a million pop ups. People would just spam PMs for the sole purpose of pissing people off. I think it's fine they way it is.

No.

Don't be lazy. Just check it every so often, and you'll be fine.

I wasn't talking about me and don't just reject ideas because you don't like it.

I didn't say it needs to be a pop up it could be anything as long as it's noticible.

YEAH, PWN THAT FEETUS!

I want an Air Raid Siren to go off when ever I get a message. That way after I have the -blam!- scared outta me, I can read my warning from Disembodied Soul.

Good to see at least somebody takes this place seriously

I am sincerely disappointed in everyone except JIMH. JIMH, have a gold star.

I don't like the idea of a popup, but I would like to make it more noticable. I often don't realize I have PM's until hours after they were sent. Maybe outline it or some other more noticable change.

I think the number next to new messages is noticable enough. I just takes a quick glance, it's really not that bad. I actually like it like this. But other than pop-ups what do you think is more noticable?

I like to Rollick

Having it flash or glow would be cool. I like seeing the envelope show up before the update and it's not as noticeable now.

You people have just sent my sides into orbit. A bunch of MLG try hards sucking the dick of some supposed pro half the thread hasn't even heard of. Classic.

You all know those emails that scare the piss out of you with something popping up and screaming? I would like to see that happen with all of our warning PM's. I can see it now. People getting freaked out by the Soul.

In all though I like the idea. Kind of like getting a new email while on messenger. The only downside would be the PM bug. I get enough PM's right now to where the little pop up would get very annoying. If that gets fixed though I would like to see this implemented.

-Quaere verum.

Got a report? Use the report tool or send a pm.
Chairleg Productions presents: 'Console Wars' and 'Games as Art?' (also on Halo Waypoint).

I find it easy to see if i receive a new message and in most cases i am quick to respond (depending on the urgency). Many other sites have this pop-up feature but, to be perfectly honest, it annoys me more than anything.

  • 04.08.2007 12:26 PM PDT

Why the hell are you looking at this? Get out.

And no group invites, you jerk. I'm not interested.

I'd simply prefer the old method of the envelope appearing when you have a message. It's much more obvious than a number.

just deal with it. it's even easier now with the newer account card thing. much more effecient than the old one, constantly mistaking the real number of PMs that i had. now, it's nearly always accurate once it loads. just get in the habit of checking. hoping for big changes often lead to disappointment.

Or mabye they could make it like xbox live where you hear a sound and a little flashing icon appears at the corner of the screen.

Agreed.

If there is a pop-up, perhaps there should be an option to turn it off in your profile? Having FF yell at me every 5 seconds would get annoying after a short time.

  • 04.08.2007 6:00 PM PDT

I remember when I used this space to put cool looking links to my chapters back in the day. I don't even know why I'm using it now. Why are you even reading this? You must be interested in me. Still reading?

People would start spamming peoples inboxes just to annoy them and wouldn't be very cool. It is good how it is but the little envelope doesn't appear when I get a new message anymore.

.. Hahahah.
That's an awesome idea.

:D

However, I would enjoy to see something, perhaps the message center icon flash when you have a new one? Just something small, but noticeable. And of course, permitting the PM bug fix works.

Maybe like an envelope that opens and closes, still the small one but with motion to get noticed easier. It was a lot easier to realize a new message has been recieved in the the old B.net...but that is in the past...

Narwhallace Smithington: Gone, but not forgotten. Never approve of anything lil guy. <3
Furious George: The new -blam!-

I won't rest until I have someone come to my door and sing my PMs to me, not unlike a singing telegram.

Achronos! Implement this system!

Teabag makes you good.

For some reason the little number next to the mail envelope REALLY pops out. So the system is fine.

I don't know about a pop-up, but I do think it should be more noticeable than it is.

Before, in the Olde Hawtness, the message alert was an actual icon that popped up, not just text, and it was roughly in the middle of the screen. Whereas now, it's a number (harder to notice), and it's on the far right corner (less looked at).

I'd like to see a fairly large icon (not too big, no larger than 30 pixels in length) placed somewhere on the page, preferably in the corner of the screen, upon getting new messages.

I think it should be like this.

I agree it should be more noticable, maybe a blinking icon like SS_Zag1 said.

"I have no words that would do justice to the atrocities you commit to the English language, as well as your continued assaults on the concepts of basic literacy and logical reasoning."

The indicator up top refreshes every 5 minutes with messags, and it updates instantly every time you read a message now too.

Considering that it is at the top of every page, I think that is enough. It isn't email, after all.
