um.....you guys didnt answer my problem :/ hehe...

I put my own username in that box and then saved the php file and uploaded it - are you saying I need to insert
$canviewpms = ""; somewhere else?

not supposed to put your user name.....supposed to put your USER number see like your user number 9099 on this board....so youd put 9099 right there....

Does this work for 2.2.4+? I want to use this on http://forums.cheatlist.com. And it seems alot of people are having problems with it. If you need me to i'll update it for 2.2.5

it was written for 2.2.2 and I have used it on every version of vBulletin since then without problem. You also can't really have a problem with it, its a case of uploading a file and linking to it from the admin cpanel.

then....why do i get that db error? lol

what are you clicking in specific?
its cause the userid is blank are you just typing /admin/pm.php into your browser or are you finding the user and then clicking the option on top, like your meant to :P

im going to admin/pm.php then it shows me that db error. Did everything it says in the instructions....Im kinda a newb to this forum [better wash my mouth][better wash my mouth][better wash my mouth][better wash my mouth] but im learning :) but i figured id post here and maybe you guys could help me out.

Your not meant to access the file like that, your suppose to find your user the usual way via the admin panel then click one of the links you added to view the user details.

Dblade (thats god heh) You Find user, then when you edit his profile there will be a gray box above that. Click view PMs.

And ppn, you area Goderator and a Kick ass hacker. thx for the hack :)
