I know there's a setting on getting e-mail notifications for Private Messages, but in a forum I went to before, they had this nice, nifty feature that created a pop-up message notification when you have a private message in your inbox. I think it's not a physical pop-up window that is created, more like a floating div (Alex understands this, I'm sure!) with the notification message. Is it already implemented here?

Seems that the pop-up window doesn't work. It could be an incompatibility with Google Chrome or what not, but it could also be a pop-up blocker. Alex, what about putting a floating div for this. I'm not too crazy for the pop-up window stuff and the floating div notification seem a bit slicker, no?

Just allow pop-ups for Nolan Fans. We don't use any pop-up advertising at all and we never will. ;)

I've been observing this function for a good month and there is seemingly no luck on it whatsoever... any ideas if I'm the only one having this problem? Yes, I put an exception for this site.
