v5.1 new browser PMs

[ripper]

Hi, version 5.1 is great. I have one quick concern/suggestion about the new browser pop up PMs. It is a very nice feature but it would be nice if the user had the option of making these PM pop up automatically if they wanted. Currently you have to click on the little animation for the new browser window to pop up. The problem with that is that if you have on PM to open in a new browser, when there are a lot of people in the chatroom you may end up missing a lot of PMs because you can't see when you get them unless you scroll down the list occassionally to see if there's an animation next to a user.

I understand that there's the concern that some user's may have pop up blockers which is why it would be nice for them to have the option to turn on / off whether the PM new browser opens automatically or the animation indicator is given.

keep up the good work.

It's not recommended to make the new browser PM automatically popup.
there're two reasons:
1) as you said, there may be popup killer, which makes the new PM just disappear in nowhere, that's gonna be very frustrating experience to your users.
2) when hundreds of PM are automatically opened to you, your screen will become totally a mess and your computer can barely move a bit, believe me, new browser cost CPU and memory, even a super computer can't handle this.
I suggest you don't risk in that way, and it's better to give users choice to activate new incoming PM or not.
