It is automatically enabled. One message will make the "message" space on the ribbon at the bottom of thescreen turn yellow in color ( it is clear now ). Any more than one unread message in your inbox will also trigger a banner at the top of the screen that is absolutely impossible to miss.

thank you for such a speedy reply.. i havent even been using that ribbon down there.. im still getting used to it all here..

cheers..

Argh. I just thought I was missing it, because I hate the hover bar and

document.get("atsribbon").style.display = "none";
document.get("atslivebadge").style.display = "none";

is my friend. But I thought it still showed at the top if you just had one.

Grr.. means I have to find a way to make my own alert as well as a feature to add images directly to a post edit, rather than scroll up to the top, middle click tools, uploads, then upload, then find the image, then show the image, then get the code.

All that to embed an image is really hard when it should be simple "upload" from the message itself and embed from there.

But the mystery of the missing U2U's is solved!

You could do something like:

var elem = document.get('atsribbon');
var images = elem.getElementsByTagName('img');

var alert = false;

for (var i = 0; i < images.length; i++) [
if (images[ i ].getAttribute('src') == '[the message alert image path]') [
alert = true;
break;
]
]

if(!alert) elem.style.display = 'none';

I don't know what the message alert image path is and I haven't tested it, should work though. The lack of element ID's is annoying.
