Can't seem to get this working .. plugin installed fine, template modification OK, the option appears under User Options but it doesn't seem to make any difference if it is ticked or not, PM's still default to do not save. Any ideas?

Check your user table and make sure there is a field called savecopy.

Yup, and it's set to 1 for my user.

Make sure the template edit has been done for all styles that you are running.? :)

I love this hack but the default is set to "do not save private messages". I want the default to remain "save" and just give users the option of not saving.

How can I do this?

Thanks!

Run this query:
[sql]ALTER TABLE p_user CHANGE savecopy savecopy TINYINT (1) UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT '1'[/sql]Replace [high]p[/high] with your table prefix, if you're not using one completely remove [high]p_[/high].

Should work (and yes, savecopy should be there twice).. :)

Thanks! Its working perfectly now. :)

Works great!

Would be nice to get rid of the template edit tho ;)

thanks!

It's possible, but is not something that I personally wish to do..

I like to be in control of my designs. ;)

Awesome awesome mod. This should definitely be part of the default vB system!!
