I install this hack with no reservations.

Do You Have the pm.php in the admincp folder?

Nice fix ... works grrrrr-ate! :D

i dont agree with the use of this hack theres no reason u should read someones PM

but regaurdless on the nature of revising a hack, from what i see the hack he revised was dead anyway so i dont see anything wrong with it, he stated at the beginning that he takes no credit, and if the author has a problem he can ask for it to be deleted

i think some ppl here need to mind their own business and not try to police the forums, let the mods and admins do their jobs

thanks, (psst now revise the PM attachments hack!) ;p

Great work, i install it.

Works great, any responsible owner shouldn't have a problem with this. Your ISP can read your e-mails if needed, police and Gov can read them... if needed why should we have a way.. ;)

58sniper; awesome addon!

THX!

Thanks for this hack as it will be useful. I understand all the arguments you guys are trying to make, but they are only really effective, if the person is installing this mod to snoop on members, which none of these administrators will.

PMs can be very useful in legal debates. All privacy policies do say that exceptions may be made to their policies in the case of protecting somebody or in the case of a legal debate. This is where this is very useful, as reading PMs easily could be very important in the case of a legal abnormality.

Also, reading PMs on your board is totally legal in all countries, you own the board, you own the content.

for some reason my other admins can not use this ... i put them in as super admins through config.php and gave them full powers in admincp .. am i missing anything ..
im running vb3.0.1 and they are getting "you have to be a superadmin to view this"

Have you added them as super administrators in your includes/config.php file?

yes.
