Thanks for update. Will try it out. It appears to be pretty robust. How tough is this on the DB (queries)?

It only calls the config table which allready is queried.

Ahhh.. k. I did try it out but I still am not sure if it's what I want. You can code just a red number in to draw your attention to the pm. I have so many mods installed and probably best to not use it even though a snippet is a mod per se'.

mod is fully configurable, but yes you can try only this if you need

Open: language/en/common.php
