Very odd; what are your magic quote settings for GPC? Hopefully this will be fixed in the next version which will have some other major improvements. I've been away for two weeks and I'm busy next week but the new version (which uses hooks) should be ready in about a week.

This is a great hack. Couple things I like to change

1) Can I have the new member receive the PM after he/she has activated their account via email?

2) Get rid of the pop up message saying theres a new message. I have it disbaled in AdminCP but still pops up :ermm:

Thank you

Both of those will be available in the new version of the hack in vB 3.5. Development of it is currently nearing completion.

Will the new version be 3.0.7 friendly?

This is already built into 3.5

No, the new version will not be 3.0.7 friendly; it's too much work because the new version uses data-managers and plugins, not code hacks.

And cmiller, it is? Where?

Ok is there a way just to stop the popups?

You know what... I upgraded so maybe this hack just came over with the upgrade. It's a database thing right, no code mods? I can't remember what I did to install it, but when I upgraded I didn't make any of my code mods again and this is in there.

The vBulletin Options will stay, as they are set to volatile=0, eg. vBulletin Update-Scripts will not delete them.
But they have no effect as the Code isn't there :)

In register.php

find:
$DB_site->query("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user SET pmtotal = pmtotal + 1, pmunread = pmunread + 1, pmpopup = 2 WHERE userid = $userid");

replace with:
$DB_site->query("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user SET pmtotal = pmtotal + 1, pmunread = pmunread + 1, pmpopup = 1 WHERE userid = $userid");
