On the forums, make a beep sound or some kind of sound to notify you that you have a message.

I do not really see the point in that, I mean it says what messages you have albiet you might not look.

Can't you set it to pop up? I'm sure I remember seeing that option there before..

depends on what accessibility jlh has with the forum because it's not created by jlh.

i have a new forum that will go live at some point (this one will become read only a week or two after) based on invision power board, due to the amount of activity this forum gets.
this particular forum uses a seperate file for every thread and member, and as a result, there are more than 30,000 files in the forum folder on the server which is just inefficient. whereas invision uses a mysql database which uses less than 50 files to store everything, and is also faster (being based on php rather than perl).
anyway, invision has an ability (i think) to pop up a window saying you have a new instant message, and i would expect that it can be told to play a sound at the same time (if not, i'll just add a reference to a wav file to the source file for the popup box).

Please try to use the same color scheme!  I would feel weird without my dose of yellowness.

People who currently own crits with names such as Seth, Flux, Isyng, Krillick, Ebony, Baros, Ikaros etc etc etc...

MODIFY: Ok, work has nulled my ability to pick up on sarcasm today.
