Hi

I was wondering if anyone can help with building a private message board. Let me be more elaborate.

I want a page in USER CP (or a link to it) where all the private messages sent to me will be shown in one page ( i mean all the content of private messages along with the id of the sender along with time sent. If there is a message I sent back to the sender in reply, then I would want that shown on this page too.

So its more like a message board only I can view not viewable at all to public. Has anyone accomplished this. Can any one help me build it. I am not a programmar but if its not too difficult i can give this a try. But i need help from the pros.

would be more efficient to use the existing Bug Report system, so people PM you that way... this can be viewed publically or by specific usergroups...

it can also be possible to do what you require, with about 15 lines of codes, so when someone post a PM to you, it would create a new thread in the forum you specify in the admincp... so you make that forum private, and you have what you desire...

I am not a vb hack master but here is how I am thinking to accomplish. The pm's are written in the database. So would it be possible to do some queries and publish it in a page.

I dont quite follow your siggestion. Can you explain a bit more?

Maybe the "completely private threads" hack would be what you need?

Similar but not quite. I want a user group i select to get pms from another usergroup i select. Nothing will be stored in a forum, it will go directly to the pm box ..may be email too.
