Topic: [request] Make "New Private Message" link bright yellow & bold

Many of my forum users are logging on and not realising that they have a new PM.
So it needs to stand out more with a change of colour.
I've spent half an hour looking through the oxygen.css and oxygen_cs.ss files but can't find out which bit to edit.

Any tips please?
Thanks
Mark

Style for "New messages" link not defined in Oxygen-css files. You can change it at 458 line in "extensions/pun_pm/manifest.xml".

Thanks!
However, none of that looks like the kind of code I'm comfortable editing.
I tried the below but nothing changed. I've CAPSed the bits that I've added.

// TODO: Do not include all functions, divide them into 2 files
    if (!function_exists('pun_pm_unread_messages'))
        require $ext_info['path'].'/functions.php';

    $visit_elements['<!-- forum_visit -->'] = preg_replace('#(<p id="visit-links" class="options">.*?)(</p>)#', '$1 <span><a href="'.forum_link($forum_url['pun_pm_inbox']).'"><FONT COLOR="YELLOW">'.pun_pm_unread_messages().'</FONT></a></span>$2', $visit_elements['<!-- forum_visit -->']);
}

Let me guess, I'm WAY off?

I changed the name in language file to image. I made a blinking email icon so it stands out.

like this

'New link active' => '<img src="/forum/img/new_pm.gif"/>&nbsp;<strong>(%d)</strong>',

ha, excellent, thanks for that smile
I now have an animated GIF of a pigeon flying across the top of my screen (using the marquee html code). Nobody will ever miss a PM again smile
