Great Hack!
Keeps the forums nice and clean.

*Clicks Install* :D

All worked well, but the only problem i have is the Post icon (<img src="" alt="" border="0">) won't show up, do you guys have any clue what caused that?

Check my attachement...

This works great. One thing I did was comment out the $movemessage in the postings.php edit. Then I added a text box called movemessage, so that I can customize the message every time. I've needed this forever!
Thanks!

Brilliant hack cheers :)

I am having the same problem as Aaron has mentioned above. Anyone know how to work around that?

Cheers Baz

Installed this on a hacked-up vb2.3.3 board and it works fine.

However, there is a typo in the install file which adds an extra 'http://' to the topic address which the system PMs them. To fix it look for this line in the instructions:

and remove the 'http://' so it becomes:

- To make the PM icon change from a sad smilie to a ! (exclamation) mark, search for this part of code in the instructions:

and change the 9 to a 4...

To find the number for any other message icon, i.e. the happy smilie, just right click and view the properties of the relevant posticon image (you can find them on a start new thread page, i.e. they are 1.gif, 2.gif etc.).

- I also created a new user called "MoveAlert" and disabled PMs for him. I then made the hack use that ID for all messages... just for presentation really.

1. Add a new user
2. Make note of the User ID number

3. Find this line:

Change the 1 (just before 'Your post has been moved.' to the new users ID number.

Finally I put a pair of quote marks around the title as it appears in the private message to make it look neater...

Find:

and add a ' to either end, i.e...

Hope this lots is helpful and thanks for the original hack - very cool :squareeyed:

Is there an update for this hack for VB3x ?

Thanks.

A vB3 version of this was released on my site. ;)
