By default when someone registers it does not have pm popup enabled.

Is it possible to change that?

Actually, Mark, it is easy to do what Keegan is asking. Simply change the field in the modifyoptions template from no (defaulted) to yes and it will be the default for all members.

While that is how you do it, I don't think it should be enabled by default. Give the users a choice. Keegan, if you, or anyone else, wants a PM pop-up, you are welcome to customize your options. That's what they're there for!

While you offered a solution you are missing the point.

They will still have a choice to turn it off.

The question was posed for a reason which is not obviouos right now to you.

Exactly what is the point I am missing then? Personally, I wouldn't want PM pop-ups on forums I visit by default and I'm sure I'm not alone.

I'd rather the default was off... then people with ancient browsers dont get an annoying error popup every time someone PMs them.

Out of curiousity, I enabled the feature, looked it over, sent myself a test, disabled it.

I have email. I have ICQ. I have email. I have email. I have email!!

Do I really need yet another thing to check for messages?
