Ok fair enough, I'll sift through it and see if I can find the error ... but if i had accidently deleted that part of the code, wouldnt it not work at all even when using the regular PM reply instead of the quick PM box? Cuz it works then ... thats whats so odd.

Is this happening to anyone else using this hack? Or is this an isolated problem? Because this problem doesn't occur with my forums.

Well, I know that it happens for sure in one other board that I frequent and I did not install that one though we have similar hacks *shrug*

I am curious to know if anyone else is having the problem ...

Great Hack Erwin ! :)

But I must say, I have the same error, that after a reply with the Quick-Box the icon of the original PM is not changed.

(vB Vers. 2.2.6)

P.S. I found the error why the icon was not correct (the field "messageread" was not updated correct.

In the template modification of your hack the wrong line is:

It must be

After that change it works correct.

Ahhh... thanks Jorg. I have both lines in my forums - the line that I put in the hack is the line for the private message preview hack. That's why I never had this problem.

When I wrote the installation file, I deleted the standard line and kept the wrong line for this hack. :) I meant to delete that one, not the one that is standard.

I've fixed the installation text file, and sent an update to all who installed this so they know to fix it.

Erwin, I just installed this hack, because my users have been requesting it. I think it'll be nice, and the install was problem-free.

However, when I check the box to delete the original PM, I always get this message:

I haven't made any modifications to private.php or the privmsg template before this. I'm running vb 2.2.7. Any further info needed, please let me know.

Thanks!

great hack :)

Okay, a minor bug fix.

It seems that you need BOTH lines in the template.

Make sure that you have BOTH of these lines in the template code that you add to "privmsg" - the first one is needed for the delete box to work, the second one for the icon to change to SENT when a message is replied to.

Sorry about this. :) I knew that the first line was there for a reason! :)

Yeah, and I've updated the installation text file to version 2.2 to reflect this.

Once more, thanks for this great hack!

Works like a charm on vb 2.2.0!

Thanks!
