That's a very nice hack. It even works on vB 3.6.x and 3.7.x, although its settings are blank.

Anyway, can you please let us know how to set the PM or Email option as default. Currently only few users have selected one of those options other than "No". I tried changing the order in Profile Field manager, but as you said it does not work afterwards.

I appreciate if you tell us how to make PM or Email as default option for this incredible hack.

*happily clicks install*

* Go to User Profile Fields > User Profile Field Manager
* Locate the "Quote Notification" field, and click "Edit"
* In the big "Options" textbox, switch "Yes" and "No" so that "Yes" is first. This will make "Yes" the default option.
* Make sure the "Set Default" option is set to "Yes" as well
* Save your changes

The mod will still work if you change the order, but it will not work if you change or try to translate the entire name of the options. In case you want to translate the options, there's another way of doing that without causing the mod to malfunction. But you will be required to edit the product file before importing it to your forum... If someone needs to do that, I'll post a little tutorial.

Thank you for this great mod. Working on 4.0.3 but this solution for default option is not working. I need to have the default option "Private Message", would you please work on it?

Thank you.

To do that, erase "yes" and "email" from the options field and just leave "Private Message" and "No". But leave Private Message on top. That will put PM as the default and "no" as an option that people could choose if they don't like the feature.

Thanks for the Mod AcidX. Just a suggestion. On one of the older versions of this mod, instead of having the quote notification sent to your PM, you could just click on "user cp" and it would be below subscribed threads and above Latest Rep. Any chance you could do this again? My Members loved it and you wouldnt have to get a ton of PM's.

I do that and "Private Message" option shows as the default option in members control panels, but it's not working. I think it needs some changes in xml file.

Yeah, it's not working for me either. Please fix! :D

Obviously the default option works only for new members that registered on your forum. Old members still have to Save their settings in their User CP.

Does this keep forum / user permissions in mind?
What if one of the moderators post a forum quote from a user, does this ueer get notified about it?

edit: Ok tested it, and it doesn't.
Can this option be build in?

edit2: could you also give us the query to update he Pm changes for all users? (to YES)
