I would love the ability to configure the length of time before the Flagged/Unflagged Messages timeout, even setting it to not timeout at all.

In my case, I'm building the ability to create a custom itinerary, and the messages include a link to a page where the user can view/manage everything they've flagged. It will be something like "______ has been added to (or removed from) your custom itinerary. Click here to view your full itinerary". Not sure if this would be a common need but thought I would start a discussion about it.

Thanks!

I'm not sure where that time limit is set; you'd need to look in the javascript.

It's 3 seconds, defined on line 46 of flag.js:

    $('.flag-message', $newLink).fadeIn();
    setTimeout(function(){ $('.flag-message', $newLink).fadeOut() }, 3000);

I could write a patch but I'm wondering if this feature is even being considered by the maintainers?

Thanks alexweber! That's where I changed it too, and it's a great temporary solution.

I'd definitely appreciate a patch, and would be happy to help test it. Are there others who would like to see this feature implemented?
