anyone??

There's one in the vb2 forum :)

i am in heaven.. so many hacks :D

is this RC4 compatible?

Whats the url? I can't see it :disappointed:

is this RC4 compatible?

Well since you asked so nicely...

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...mins+read+user

for some reason, I can't get this to work, even though I added the user to Super Moderator usergroup. I'm using RC4. Any suggestions??

I know I only use it for admins, so not sure if mods can too. :( Did you upload pm.php to the mod directory?

Edit your config.php and add the user the the $superadministrator variable. You need to add the user id, not the username.

yeah, how?

You need to edit the config.php file and add your userid to the Super Admin Section.. (the config file is documented just look for the right part)

How can they know you use this as admin? Unless you open some unread pm's as first one...

Works fine in RC4

And??

Just installed on gold, works great. Thanks :)

not working for me -- with or without the cp intergration

Is this hack available for vB 2.3.3?

Thanks.

Floris, has this been updated to work with vB 3.0 Gold? Does it need to be?


:)

Works fine mate ;)

I have tried downloading the zip file in the first post by floris, and it won't open. Is there a problem with this file?

Works fine. Try redownloading it wothout using any download managers.

Definatly ok tho. ;)

All the files here stopped downloading correctly in IE yesterday. Download and install via Opera and it will open fine. The non java version of Opera is 3.7 megs.

Thanks guys, used Opera and it worked!

i so wanna install this but i know it's wrong, but at the same time, i know theirs good reason for it too :confused: what to do lol

It comes down to a personal choice and more importantly, a public disclosure. I know this hack is not for me or my board but it may be for yours. What matters is that you explain or at least honestly answer any questions about security that your users may ask. If they post about your ability to read messages tell them you can and explain your privacy policy. My board doesn't touch PM's with a 10 foot pole and our users know that. If you feel abuse is prevelant and you need to read messages, that's fine as well, just tell people.

Unless you shout out that you installed this hack, no one will know
and if ya have a large board, you have better things to do then browsing your members pm's (you must be very bored to do that :p)

I just used it when i have suspicious types among the members...

my two cents

/me clicks install

Floris, great hack! It's definately a time-saver.


However, there is a small problem with it, though. When you are looking at a user's Inbox - the data includes who sent each PM.

However, when you look at the Sent folder, it does *not* indicate who each PM was sent to.

If I'm monitoring an abusive user - I need to know who each PM has been sent to.


So, for simplicity's sake, what do I need to do in order to have this hack simply show a "Sent To" field in ALL folders? So that, regardless of whether you are looking at the Inbox or Sent (or any other) folder, there will be 2 columns showing both the Sender as well as the Recipient?
Thanks!

Dude they once did that at my forum to try and ruin my adminship. They called themselves The Australian Mafia.

Nice hack....if you feel the privacy issue is too great a concearn, you could always install the "Login As" hack.....you could read their PMs that way if anything becomes a security issue with secret rebellions and uprisings of the minions....lol ;)

there is one in the vb2 code mod forums

this is a great hack our site has been having problems with the same group of people spamming other users with their website under many aliases

I installed the file in the admincp folder. It showes its there. Now when I use the link provided and add in my site address I get timed out. What am I doing wrong. Do you need to add anything to the end of the link? Do you access this hack through the admin cp?

I see nothing about a $superadministrator in the config

and some one show a ex of what I would have to type?

and we are talking about the config in the admin folder yes ?

Hello!!!

There is a huge bug in this hack......

I installed it and give it a test.
now my DB is all missed up. none of the links at the end of VB work right like where you have Admin, mod , top . they all just go to the main page of my website.

User Options does the same thing go's to my main site of the website

I tryed going into Import & Maintenance / Repair / Optimize Tables.. hit all and it did not fix it so I would think b4 you gave this hack a try.. and I'm open to any help any one can give me to fix this...!!!!

Using it on Gold, works a treat :)

Don't use it too often though.

is this hack compatible with VB3 GOLD ?
any plans for an upcoming release ?

just asking, coz planning to install this now :)
