I don't know if it is just me and my blind eyes, but I have a hard time noticing if there is a message in "My messages."  Could you make the message number in blue instead of white.  Maybe it will stand out more.

There used to be a pop-up signifying that you had a new message - is that not available anymore?

I agree with Mills... I have gone weeks in the past and just didnt' notice I had a number next to the messages tab....
I dont' get any sort of Pop up Tom... that would be cool!! or some other notification would be great..

I do get a #1 next to my messages, but it doesn't stand out and sometimes I don't notice it for a day or two.  The colors just don't stand out for me.  I know I am not color blind, but I just have a hard time noticing it.  I was just curious if it was only me.

The blue really stands out.

I have it set so I get emails of the messages!

Like Tom it goes right to my email  so I see any tthat I may get plus
any new posting that I may have left one at. :smile:.

You can turn on the pop up notification, and specify if you want  to also receive an email that you have a personal message.
 Go to Profile -> Personal message options.

 Also  check  your web browser to make sure  pop ups are allowed  at this site, since it will block the new message alert.

Edit by me:  fixed typos

Thanks Kilroy,

I redid my info. so I will now be receiving a notification email for personal messages.  Now I just have to find someone who wants to write me.  Maybe I'll ask my wife, nahhh she don't want to talk to me.

When I return home, I'll look to see if there is a way to increase visibility for new PMs...
As suggested, check to ensure pop-ups are allowed for "soda-machines.com" and this should get your attention. The email option is also good for notifications...
