Default Re: Forum\'s PM System

Ive noticed that I have to actualy refresh the page after reading the PM's so that the blinking indicator goes away. Otherwise, when I return to the forums the indicator is still flashing. Then I return to Messages, no new ones, I refresh the page with no new PM's and the flasher goes away.

Also, Ive wondered. Does anyone else miss the "text included" notifications we used to get? I understand the thinking. Its moving into the "dont transmit plain text" mode of thinking. But I wish it was an option. I get a large variety of PMs. Some are just FYI notifications from the system even though they come from a user. My alert system for important PMs kindof breaks down if I cant see at least a topping (first few lines) of the message. Not to mention that I was using my email box to store them so I could delete them at the forum. Now I have to cut&paste mail them to myself or come up with another note system (cut&paste notepad or something)
