I used to have this feature but I seem to have lost it in a move (I inherited the site and so didn't set everything up myself).

Can anyone tell me how to get it back?

To clarify.....I want the little box in the top right to flash when a new PM arrives. (Hope that makes sense.)

Thanks. :)

thanks, but that seems to be for a flashing image, which isn't what i meant.

i'd like alternating colours for the whole box.

hmm sorry, I haven't see anything like that there. That may have been something that the previous owner did himself

quite possibly. just 2 colours tho, sort of blinking on and off.

i'll ask the previous owner at some point, but i don't want to bother him just now.

if someone can help in the meantime, i'll be grateful. :)
