How would I go about getting an unread PM count to put in my header?

Right now, I have in my header, a list item called messages which takes you to your pm box if you are logged in, and takes you to the register/log in screen when you are not.

If you are logged in, I want it to show Messages (Number of unread messages.)
Ex. Messages (1)

Is there a way to do that?

mybb shows this by default...anyway,
use this code to show it

Messages ({$pms_unread})

also have a look at what imperial theme does with the PMs

Thank you, but that doesn't work. This shows up when I get a new pm.

Let me recheck the variables......ummm
try {$unreadpms} see if that works

Same thing as before. Nothing show in the parenthesis.

I gotcha.
this should definitely work

{$mybb->users['pms_unread']}
