i just had an idea, and i don't know if it's already been done or even possible. i thought it might be useful to have a "new pm" notification come up in the esato bar for logged in users.
any thoughts?
for those who don't know about the esato bar go to http://www.esato.com/bar

Not bad idea. Think it could be managed with the buddy list aswell, of course it depends on @laffen.

Thats a great idea, other forums usually have a pop-up that tells you.
Maybe Esato can do the same?

PM's already show at the main scroll bar along the top. As you know it turns red. But this only alerts you when the page is refreshed.

yeah sorry guys but i think orangeman is right. the new pm message is good enough and laffen has a lot on his hands!
i never even knew the esato bar existed!. do people still use it?

The almighty bar is a old future that i have been using for ages and i use to refresh it alot just to check for the latest posts.
I realy like the idea with the pm notification.

the esato bar also self-refreshes periodically.
Posted by sn3ipen
...but not as often as i want it to refresh and especially not when it is playtime!!!
Posted by MTNT68i
i usally refresh the page once every 2 minutes so it works fine for me!

@speedoh: right on!

Didn't even know about the esato bar..... :-D cool,and like the idea,i seen forums with popup windows for new PM's. But would be better suited to the toolbar as i hate any popup windows. :xx

I dont like this
am i old fashioned 
? Isn't it the same as latest posts? (but sadly it seems broke now )
Posted by sn3ipen
I realy love it because the posts is showing as the latest posts but not categorised like the one you usualy use. It is showing the posts in order.
Posted by gelfen
the other good thing is it shows garbage thread posts and other posts from forums that "don't count", which the front page doesn't show.
