IPB3.0.x: Ridiculous PM notification boxes when you get a long PM

Recommended Posts

Something that really, really annoys me in IPB3.0.x is the way the new PM notification works.

Now don't get me wrong, it's a great pop-up box for short messages, but if a message is very long (for example I've just received a PM this morning from someone that's about 4 pages long if typed in Word), then I get a stupid popup box that's deeper than the screen containing the entire message.

Would it be too much effort to consider truncating the content of the popup box if large messages are received please?

The message used to be truncated in 2.x, but the problem was, if the message is truncated, BBCode has to be disabled (otherwise you risk a closing tag being truncated and messing up the entire page) - people said they didn't like this behaviour as if a message was heavily formatted, you just got a notification of BBCode tags.
