Better than any type of floating alert or window would be a content block which appears at the top of the page in the correct situation. It can be skinned to be noticable enough.

Or one can use a browser like firefox that allows one to whitelist sites (like phpbb forums for instance) for javascript to allow the notification while blocking it elsewhere.
I just don't see this as a huge deal.

why not make a MOD for it?BioALIEN wrote: Note to the Devs,
Instead of having a popup on the arrival of a new PM why not have a JS alert/confirm dialogue? That way popup blockers dont interfere with the functionality.
Notice: for people with JS disabled then thats a different story! They can choose to have popup on their UCP preferences but I really do think you should consider (repeat consider, not demanding anything here) JavaScript dialogues.
Great work so far - fingers crossed for an "april fools trick"?
Gmail did it to us last year, will Olympus do it this year?
Re: Browser popup on new PM => JavaScript Alternative?
a smart system that could identify if you have a popup blocker, and if you do then send a javascript popup would be good..
would cause users not to have a pesky js popup since i personally hate it, if it's not nessary..

Re: Browser popup on new PM => JavaScript Alternative?
If someone has a popup blocker on we should not assume that the user would prefer a JS alert. If a user wants to see a PM notification popup then they should take it upon themselves to adjust the settings of their popup blocker for the site they wish to allow popups for.
Trying to circumvent a user's browser preferences, no matter how pure the intention, is always bad IMHO.
