Ok I found this code
Code:
if ($pmquota>0 and $touserinfo[usergroupid] != 6 and $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] != 6) {
$msgcount = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS messages FROM privatemessage WHERE userid=$touserinfo[userid]");
in private.php I'm guessing that is what I need to change? If so all I need is the updated usergroup to include mod's. Thanks again...
