I like the improvements you're making!
I don't mind the blinking avatar, but a possible alternative would be to have icons appear that could be clicked on directly when alerts occur. For example a mailbox could appear next to the avatar (either always be there and have a flag rise on the icon if unread mail is present or just have a mailbox icon appear with a raised flag if unread mail is present) and a grayed out mailbox with a raised flag could appear if "new" or "recent" hidden messages are present.
It would also be nice if "new" or "recent" hidden messages could be changed to "unread" hidden messages such that the notification only disappear when new hidden messages have all be read (and would only disappear when new hidden messages have been read instead of never getting any notice if you miss logging in for a few hours).
As a personal preference, it would also be nice if the Bits displayed would include not only the total, but also the Bits in Checking and the Bits in Savings in the list you see when you click on your avatar.
PS. It appears that having "new" or "recent" hidden messages does not cause my avatar to blink? Is that because I was the author of the last hidden message; or is there no visible notice anymore that there are "new" or "recent" hidden messages unless I happen to click on my avatar?

Just wondering why the board is configured not to show any avatars in the post displays? I haven't seen anyone else asking this question and there is no mention of it by the admins anywhere (correct me if I am wrong).... A little bit of playfulness would do unix.com good :) (2 Replies)

Hey,
Upgrade (step 1) the posts, by putting a "user info" icon in the top right and making it so it toggles the user info.
The user info icon has a badge which shows the number of posts. I will have to dig around in the code more to get the total posts thanks and other badges working; but... (22 Replies)

rent message.

25 at a time. The character means the last message in the mail file. Similarly, represents every message in the
file (i.e.,
The message numbers are sorted into ascending order. Thus, produces the same output as
pattern A string that is present in one of the messages. This pattern can be typed in directly (no quotes) if the words are
separated by a single space in the actual message. The pattern matching is case sensitive, so and are not equiva-
lent. Leading digits (on the first word) are not permitted; however, you can precede them with a space and quote the
entire string, if the space occurs in the message, as in .
