Here is one that someone made for me a while back, but I didn't use it as personally I don't like large PM indicators. If you can find a use for it somewhere then it won't go to waste. Here it is in different pixel widths, 100, 200, 300 and 400;

Thanks folks. I have a 50 pixel wide version somewhere as well Dean, when I find it I'll post it up here.
Also I have a better one, of the GL1500 rear trunk light (the long one with the Goldwing badge) which I think looks really well, I did that one myself. When I dig it up I'll post it here and it might suit you better.

The 1500 image would be great. 99% of the users on our forum are 1500 owners and I think that would be well liked.

It will be next week when I find it Dean, I just remembered it's on the work PC. If you let me know what size (width in pixels) you want it, I'll resize it for you.

Back to the popup, here is why I don't do it that way-

Because of the modern world of spam and pushy "advertising" tactics on web pages most modern browsers have added some form of popup blocker.

Now deeper.

Popups of any kind are usually executed with javascript (a language like HTML). The browser knows if the user has clicked on and executed a javascript routine locally, that's how we can do the menus both user menus and the ones on the new menu bar in the beta without an alert or being blocked. OH and the new emoticon window.

If you have a PM pop up, it is executed by the script it's self when you enter the page and not by you. The browsers frown upon this and either block it or bother you with a local popup that asks you if it's OK to run the script.

That's why I don't do it. It can flash, blink or dance and be OK but the minute it tries to pop up another window all modern browsers think spam.

It would be great if the bad apples would just rot and fall off the tree so developers didn't have to dance around privacy or security routines. But this is how it is, have to live with it.

Okay Dean, I found them. Three versions, turn signals blinking, taillights blinking and all of them blinking. I made them 125 pix wide as under 130 pix seems to sit well in the side boxes without affecting them;




If you want them bigger just let me know. The originals are 1000 pix wide so I can prep them to any practical size under that.
