How to Change PM Notification Settings

Featured Replies

I've been a little annoyed by the latest PM settings on the forums. I never know when I have a PM in my inbox because it just shows up as a little green square in the top corner of my screen, so I've set out to find a fix. For those of you annoyed with this too, follow these steps to enable a pop-up notification every time you receive a PM.

First, go to the top right corner of the screen, and you'll see this:

Click on the arrow, and you'll get this drop down menu:

Select "My Settings" and you'll be brought to this page:

Select "Notification Options" and you'll see this section when you scroll down a bit:

Click the check mark on the first option (Show popup when I receive a new inline notification) as shown.

Then be sure to scroll all the way down to the bottom and click on "Save Changes" to enable these settings:

Now you should be all done! I haven't received a PM since changing these settings yet since I just did it, but I think that PMs will be much easier to notice now with this change to your settings!

That doesn't annoy me, the "unread notifications" does. I see you have 3 of them too. :P

lol Yeah, that's kind of obnoxious, but doesn't bother me since I'm not really missing anything.

Also, implementing these changes does help. Got a PM earlier and it was displayed nicely across my screen instead of up in the corner as a "1" and that's it.

Are those unread messages the ones I sent expressing my undying love for sNOSage?

I didn't know that was a public matter. I thought we only shared the LoveEwe happenings publicly?
