Someone please help: how do I add the ''my profile'' sidebar?

The title says it all, the ''notifications'' and ''inbox'' links are very handy to quickly see if anyone needs your help or mentioned you. Is it also possible for a popup to appear once you get a new private message?

regards,
Nima

    Do you mean you want a notification to pop up in any page as soon as you get a message?

    We typically just rely on people noticing the numbers next to the "inbox" and profile links. Were you thinking something more ajaxy?

    Well, a popup once someone receives a PM(or ''conversation'' as it's called here :D) would be nice. But yea, those number next to the inbox and profile links are pretty handy to. But I don't have the ''my profile'' sidebar on my forum. Any way I can enable it?

    Numbers next to the "inbox" is far away better, IMHO.

    Right, but how do I get that to show? I figured the ''my profile'' sidebar was standard but it isn't? :O

    ohh, he's talking about the "my profile" box used on this site (right underneath ask a question)

    default install of vanilla 2 doesn't have much in the sidebar other than categories

    I had to add the "My Profile" thing in the sidebar on this site because I removed those items from the main menu in this theme. The standard install of Vanilla has those numbers right up there in the main menu.

    Ahh I see, so I have to add it manually to my own theme to? Cause I don't have it either. How do I make it to appear though?

    @Nimaveli - Do you have a custom theme? What is the url to your forum?

    Yes, an edited version of ''Joie''

    You do have the menu there, it is just up above your logo to the right.

    Ohh yea, can't believe I missed that lol. Sorry. But, once I get a new PM I don't see the number next to it. Recently I just randomly checked my inbox and it was full of messages :O
