a vB3 version would be cool ;)

I used blowfish encryption to encrypt the PM contents, seeded with the username... but that was on VB2, and I'm not yet doing anything like this on VB3 because the storage of PMs has changed... PMs are now only stored once, whereas in VB2 a seperate copy was stored for sent and received, etc.

I may find a way to re-do this... but it's not a high priority for me at the moment... PMs are secure anyway, it just gives additional peace of mind to some members. I was also unsure how much I ever actually needed it, especially when you consider the processing overhead it produced as a result.

Anyhow... I'll think about doing this in VB3, and this time I might release it (I released only a fraction of what I ever hacked for my own board).

A VB3 version will be done... and since it will be based on the code I've had running on my site for months, it will go straight to full release. I hope to get this done in the next two weeks.

NICE NICE! Please port this to VB3 !!

OK, I'll start it tomorrow :)

I hadn't actually realised that anyone had installed it! I just thought it was me running it on my own! Now I realise there's an audience I'll get off my backside ;)

I'm sure a lot of other people installed it. Sadly, some people don't hit the install :p but I'll definately be looking forward to the vb3 version ;)

yeh i'd like this too :D

Just to let you all know what is happening.

I've completed a VB3 version of this and am currently testing it on my board.

In a few days I'll clean it up a little and release it under the VB3 finished hacks section... when I do that I'll post a link in here to it.

If one or two of you wishes to help testing, then please PM me and I'll mail you the preliminary code.

For VB3, most of it is chunked off into two functions files as before (one to handle all the secret admirer stuff, and one to handle PM sending), and only a few lines needs to be added to one file (./profile.php). Aside from that there are a couple minor template changes, and some new phrases.

I haven't concentrated on making it fully phrase friendly, anyone who wishes to do this can do so once I've released it.

Cheers

Sorry I abandoned you before. :(

My home forums had lots of server problems. We become overloaded and actually were disabling so many features. There was no chance to add new things unless they were essential to our continued operations.

But...the good news is that some of us are starting a few experimental forums. This would be great. I can help finish testing for vb3 version so I will send you a PM if you still want to trust me. ;)

A couple of you asked to test it, so you can now find it in the beta forum:

This time if I receive enough feedback I'll move it to the release forum in a fortnight ;)
