It is mostly still beta since i didn't have the time to create a new version with all the ideas i still have for this hack yet. There have not been any serious reports for the current version (as you can see if you read back in this thread).

Hi Marco,

Any news on this hack? It's quite an awesome Hack. Also, if I PM you a link to my privacy statement tonight, can I expect the hack soon?

There are also a couple of fixes with regards to postbit_legacy that you wanted to do. Have these been done, or must I just use the inline code adjustments to get this working?

One last thing. Is there a way to just change the privacy statement to point to mine? I suppose I can just add it in myself, so no worry really.

Cheers and thanks for a great hack

If you pm a link to your statement and your mail address, i will sent you a plugin to remove the privacy statement tomorrow.
No they are not in the current version, but changing to postbit_legacy will only require a minimal change to the plugins. If the solution was not posted in this thread, also ask for this and i will try to post the solution here.
No, i don't think that is possible, it will either point to the second post of this thread, or no privacy statement.

Hi Marco,

Thanks for the reply. PM sent. Where does it show your privacy statement? The automatic one that points to this forum? Does it only show it below the inbox, or other places as well?

Otherwise, thanks for a GREAT hack. I'm really enjoying this one from my previous version :)

Cheers

Installed and working. THanks Marco! Awesome hack! Rated 5 and clicked install. Just waiting for that email now :)

Sounds like a cool idea but all information on my site belongs to me. I dont need to provide any privacy statement to my members, or to vbulletin.org. Guess this wont get installed.

If you have a TOS page where you explicit say that all including PM's belong to you, then you could get the Privacy statement removed. PM me with a link to the page and your mail address if you want this.

Get the following error .. it seems to work but this error comes when displaying the PM...

What vB & PHP versions are you running?

Its old but this was very well put ixian.

Just so people know it is actually a breach in privacy to have the users come to vbulletin.org with out them knowing. This would be more damaging for the admin than reading the PM. As well the protection is for only 1 party who will never see this notice that is the person who wrote the PM. The person who recieves it reliqishes the right once they consider it abuse or spam. OBVIOUSLY it must be reviewed.

Does vb.org have a statment stating this will uccour to guests from differnt sites and how will thier private information be handled? Does anyone on any site using this hack state that vb.org may or may not get specific types of information? Is the privacy aggreement for vb.org and (whoever you are) are in syc with one another to co exist legally with this idea.

So its not really ad-ware its more inadvertant spy-ware. (please ignore my bad spelling. English is not my first lanugage but I am learning). Please note I put inadvertant... I am aware its not the purpose of the hack.

If you use this logic used to protect members you would have to have a notice saying if you use it your information may or may not be given to third parties.

vb (all vb) records ip, referer and sessions. This is the major flaw having vb.org involved in private messages. But I just wanted to say that. this is old news but just so people understand.

(think about it. Once a guest hits this page and an admin reviews it they now know)
1. This user comes from x website (its vb, its a 3.5.x site and there is a cookie left) so This user is a member of x website (100% sure)
2. This user was previously reading a PM
3. This user uses whatever browser and speaks whatever lanuage. (OS system as well)
4. This user had (whatever is in your copy and paste space) saved
5. This user just had spam or an abusive message.

I could now email the owner of that site about some new spam blocker for vb or use google adwords to market to the users about more secure websites that are simular to thiers. "Are you tired of forum spam?". (advertise on this site method)

That is off the top of my head. I dont think anyone is using this that way but hey... if you want to be legal do it all the way.
