No, you have to delete the cpnav file and call it from the address bar if you want to hide it.

ok i haven't commented before on this but i want to thank you so much for making this mod... I had used it before to look for spammers but this week we had i guess an online predator register on our board and started contacting our younger members PMing them with inappropriate message..thanks to this hack we were able to catch it before it spread to far so thank you once again

You are welcome, glad it helped you catch this guy.

Installed this version on my 3.6.8 but in the To field I see

a:1:{s:2:"cc";a:1:{i:276;s:8:"name_of_the_member"; }}

I've verified that the mod contained in the very first replies of this thread was yet applied but with no result since I continue to see these strange characters.

Hi. A cool feature to add to this mod would be to log the use of this mod in the moderator log. Preferably with the s/n of the member whose PMs were read.

BTW, thanks for this mod. One of our admins used it to settle a trade dispute between two members.

Clicked Installed.

Working perfectly. No issues w/ vb 3.6.7 (PL1)

this thing is awesome. :D i love it!

installed & thank you

but when i click on the 'read pm' link in the admin cp, i'm getting directed to a 'page not found'

any advisement? thanks

(both files are uploaded, one to the cp, the other to includes xml)

*installed*

Personally I think its an invasion of a user's privacy to view their personal messages... so when I first saw this modification, I had no desire to use it... but I have an anti-admin member who continuously accuses me of looking at his PMs, so I warned him to stop accusing me of such a thing or I will actually do it. He publicly accused me AGAIN... so, I've installed it and I will now use it to look at his PMs. Thanks for this add-on.

hehe good luck with him :P
