I think that I've seen it in some forum.

Yes, you can do so.

1. Install the product only
2. In product options set "Update popup menu automatically" to "No".
3. Open template qpipm_menu
   

   	<if condition="$show['pmlink']">
   		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="private.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newpm&amp;u=$post[userid]&amp;postid=$post[postid]"><phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[qpipm_quote_post_in_pm]</phrase></a></td></tr>
   	</if>

4. Modify this part of template how you need it
   

   		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="private.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newpm&amp;u=$post[userid]&amp;postid=$post[postid]"><phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[qpipm_quote_post_in_pm]</phrase></a></td></tr>

5. Save the template
6. Add $qpipm where you need to the left of the "Quote" button

In other words you have

To find in templates postbit && postbit_legacy the code:

        <if condition="$show['quickreply']">
            <a href="javascript:insertQuote('$post[usernamequick]', selection, '$post[postid]')" onMouseOver="catchSelection()" title="$vbphrase[select_and_click]" class="smallfont"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/quickquote.gif" alt="$vbphrase[select_quote]" border="0" /></a>
	</if>

Add before $qpipm

Change template qpipm_menu to something like this one:

	<if condition="$show['pmlink']">
		<a href="private.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newpm&amp;u=$post[userid]&amp;postid=$post[postid]"><phrase 1="$post[username]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/your_new_button_here.gif" alt="$vbphrase[qpipm_quote_post_in_pm]" border="0" /></phrase></a>
	</if>

Don't forget to upload you new button and give it the proper name in code above.
I highlighted it above your_new_button_here.gif

Great hack!

Thanks.
