Hi Guys , I have been asked by my members if it was possible to pop up urgent messages, newflashes, alerts when they first logged in , rather then having to look through posts to find the newest ones, 

Ive had a search through plugins , but alas  cannot find anything like it ..



Many Thanks

What sort of messages or alerts are they looking to see? Have they tried out the built-in notification system yet?

As we are a league of players , they would like to see any league orders issued, now if this could be done by a board, on the front page that collates new posts then that would help ...

If these orders were all posted in a single thread, they could simply bookmark that thread and it will show a notification icon on the bookmarks link in the menu.

Alternatively, you might find the Global Messages plugin useful. If it doesn't quite match what you're looking for, you could post in the thread for it and ask the author to consider adding a feature you need.

Hi Shrike, Thanks for the reply, hadn`t considered the bookmark , simple but effective, I have tried global Messages but cant get it to work on home page,


Thanks again ,,regards Micky
