NukeCops - RECEPTION & MESSENGER BLOCK

Since I was not fully satisfied in the way the PM popup window notification was operating, (only visible if the user has logged into forum).
I decided to implement a new notification with auditable and visible warnings soon the user/member logs into the portal. (PM = Private Message module)

The main reason for not been satisfied with the PM default notification, simply because the user/member once logged into a portal, occasionally goes straight into the forum module to see if there are new private messages, or neither he/she will look into a block section where are displayed private messages statistics (providing that portal can display such block/s).
Therefore by modifying 80% the Site visitor's block (thanks to NukeCops), and by implementing the Messenger features I created a new block named "Reception & Messenger " v1.

FEATURES:

HOW TO TEST THE MESSENGER IN OUR SITE
( applicable only if registered )

- Once registered and logged in, look into the "Reception Messenger"
block (left column block )and click on your username (listed below the messenger icon)
- You will be directed to the private message module, fill in and post the test message
- Soon after your message is posted, you will see the message " Your message has been sent + an animation image" at this point don't click any link, just wait 5 seconds and you will be redirected to the portal front page (we tweaked the redirection back to the portal front page and not to the PM default "Sendbox " page) and you will see the messenger in action.
