Is there anyway of having a 'call attention' sound of some sort to alert when a message is displayed form other users in the Send Message display in Multiplayer Sessions? I often overlook messages being sent to me when concentrating on the game at hand. Just a simple alert of a message arriving would be great.

Go to F3, Messages tab. Select 'Multiplayer message' from the drop-down list, tick 'play sound' and click the '...' button to select a sound file to use. There are a few sounds in the download area if you don't have any suitable ones on your computer, and there are plenty of sites you can get them from elsewhere on the internet.

You can attach (different) sounds to any/all of the messages types.
