Private Messages

Hey so today as Im using the search menu, I look down and notice that this board has a private message feature which after being on this board for years I just noticed, so first of all sorry to all three of you that sent me messages I never saw them until today.

Ok on to the suggestion, is there anyway that the private message count can blink when you have a new one in order to grab your attention? I realize this is probably part of the POP forum program you guys use but in the off chance its not I figured I would try airing the suggestion.

I'd like to have e-mail notification of new PM's. I often miss them myself.
