find ::

PHP Code:

  if (!$touserinfo['receivepm'] or !$touserinfo['canusepm']) {
    eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_pmrecipturnedoff")."\");");
    exit;
  } 


under it add:

PHP Code:

  if(($touserinfo[usergroupid] != $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]) OR ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] != 6)) {
    eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_pmrestricted")."\");");
    exit;
  } 


that should do the trick it allows Administrators to pm anyone and allows only certain usergroups to pm another user in that same usergroup thats all... don't forget to make a new template call it ::

error_pmrestricted

and put whatever info you want in the template (error-wise) regards

oh and one more thing... make sure to disable pming to buddies ;p or you could make a similiar code when adding buddies... else they can foward messages and such... to disable simply in the usergroup set max pm to forward and max users to pm at 0...
