Topic: Personal Messages - Idea and Help

I would like to include an indication that the user has new personal messages from the last time they checked them - something like "You have new personal messages".

I'm not the best PHP programmer, but I understand architecture.  How would you write the code for checking the database for a new message and printing either an image or text that displays "You have x# new personal messages".

Thanks, and I almost have something to show for all my troubles smile!

Isn't there already a "You have new messages" link?

Not that I am seeing in my interface.  I've installed all the templates correctly, although I reserve the right to miss a line of code.

Any chance you can tell me what I may be missing?

There should be a link yes... just check so that the line: 

require($pun_root.'pms/header_new_messages.php');

is at line 177 (somewhere there, don't know the exact line if you have other mods installed) in hedaer.php.
