"Visitor Messages" with notifications?

Trail Boss · 02-20-2013, 09:37 AM

Wow, do I feel like a sh'theel!

By chance I looked at my User CP - Profile page and discovered, over the past few months, four people had posted "Visitor Messages". I never responded to them because, well, I had no idea their messages were posted!

I have all Options enabled to receive email notifications when someone sends me a Private Message. Is there a way of receiving an email notification if someone posts a Visitor Message?

Barring that, upon logging in, is there any visual indicator of new Visitor Messages short of actually inspecting one's Profile page?

Might be a setting in the Admin CP of this version, its not in the version I run.

VBulletin 5 Connect has some real cool features as well.

This is why I pretty much stopped using the feature.

It's sort of a non-private private message!
