Its not obvious when you have a PM. I have email PM notification turned on because of the low volumes of PMs I get on this site, but on larger sites I keep that turned off.
If text changed colour when you got a PM (ie - have "1 new message" show up in bright red, or maybe for thsi site bright blue or something) its a lot more obvious. The basic layout of php message boards...can you alter the HTML programming behind it? I would think you could, I've just never seen the code behind one of these boards.
