Is there any way we can perhaps embolden or move the 'new msgs' element in the top right? Its not an area of the screen I look at regularly and messages are sometimes sitting there without me knowing... or is there a better way to get notified of a new PM?

Don't you get that popup window then? Or if blocked, the line at the top which says that the popup has been blocked?

Under Board Preferences (in your control panel) you can select "Pop up window on new private message". That should help :)

Just a side note to this, when someone posts a Pistonheads car advert link on tapatalk, it opens in the app fine. But then as the page is loading an annoying advert pops up and opens in safari web browser, taking you away from tapatalk! And then everytime you go back to tapatalk to the PH advert it opens yet another page (annoying advert banner) in safari!! Soooo annoying!

That sounds like a PH/Tapatalk issue
