No doubt someone will speak out with a better way of doing this, my way is probably a bit of a fudge, but. . .

I got around this problem by replacing step 2 with:

PHP Code:

// Buddy Messenger v1.1
if ($enablepms==1 and $permissions['canusepm'] and $bbuserinfo['receivepm']) {
$datecut = time() - $cookietimeout;
$buddyuserssql=str_replace(" ","' OR user.userid='",$bbuserinfo[buddylist]);
$sql="SELECT DISTINCT session.lastactivity, user.userid,username,NOT ISNULL(session.sessionhash) AS online,invisible
      FROM user
      LEFT JOIN session ON session.userid=user.userid
      WHERE (user.userid='$buddyuserssql')
      ORDER BY username";
//$sql="SELECT * FROM user WHERE (userid='$buddyuserssql') AND invisible=0 ORDER BY username";
$buddys=$DB_site->query($sql);

$onlinebuddy="";
$offlinebuddy="";
while ($buddy=$DB_site->fetch_array($buddys)) {
  if ($userdone[$buddy[userid]]) {
    continue;
  } else {
    $userdone[$buddy[userid]]=1;
  }

  if ($buddy[online] and !$buddy[invisible] and $buddy[lastactivity]>$datecut) {
    $onoff="{buddyon}";
  } else {
    $onoff="{buddyoff}";
  }

  eval("\$var = \"".gettemplate("buddy_messenger")."\";");

  if ($buddy[online] and !$buddy[invisible] and $buddy[lastactivity]>$datecut) {
    $onlinebuddy.=$var;
  } else {
    $offlinebuddy.=$var;
  }
}


        eval("\$pminfo = \"".gettemplate('forumhome_pmloggedin')."\";");
}
// End Of Buddy Messenger v1.1
