PM Popup Notification
When you login to the site you will no longer get a window that pops up telling you you have a PM... as alot of you will have noticed that when you try and login to the site and you have an unread PM waiting it takes AGES and I mean AGES to load the main page.
I have removed it and tested it and the site now loads almost instantly even when you have a PM waiting.... This means you will need to keep an eye on the top right hand corner of the screen for PMs.
This has also helped again with CPU Usage and is also preventing the PM Table from locking as the way it was set before everytime a page was refreshed or a post made it would look in that database... and due to the number of users we have that table could have been getting 50 hits into it within a few seconds.
I will modify the PM area in the top right of the screen to either make the writing turn red or flash or something to make it stand out when you do get a PM... this wont be done straight away but it will be done.
Cheers
