Why does this forum software not have an indicator for the number of unread PMs in bright red like pretty much every other forum?
At the moment, "PM" in the corner simply turns bold if there are unread messages, which is so subtle it can easily be overlooked completely. This can be a real problem if you PM people who do not expect PMs or do not know how they work.
Could this be changed please? Thanks.

This is a mostly frozen copy of the Minetest forums through 2017. If you know phpBB3 and would like to host any G-rated forum here, you can email: me@minetest.org If the email doesn't work, find out who's taken over Final Minetest from OldCoder and email them to get write access or an admin account.
I should have set this up years ago. But it's no tale of woe.

That is a good point i have been thinking the same thing for a while but was waiting for someone else to mention it.

Yes, I often overlook them mainly because they're unnoticeable. I only notice it when I'm expecting a PM, if not it's an oversight.

I missed an invite to become a moderator because of this.

vBulletin has what's probably the best way of doing this. The first time you show up at the site after getting a PM, you get a Javascript "confirm" dialog allowing you to press "OK" to view it or "Cancel" to not view it.
Signature antivirus (Linux only): "grep -iv -- Signature\ virus" (minus the quotes, of course)
Signature goes in stdin, viruses are removed, and cleaned signature comes out on stdout.

Not everybody/browser does like JavaScript, so there must be another way, like
[h]You've got a new PM! Read it here![/h]

There is actually a Extension which has been made for this, installing it would be handy as then we could see more clearly when there is a new message. You can view it here: http://punbb.informer.com/forums/post/143698/#p143698
It looks like this:

xyz and c55 are, I believe.
Yep. If there are any other Admins, I haven't seen 'em. And I've been lurking here for a year.
Also, yes, PMs should have better notifiers. Overlooked messages several times because of this.

<Anarchid> my turn was still the most awesome, yielding all the cripples, two captured paranormals, and death rate of about 30%
