Installed this on a hacked-up vb2.3.3 board and it works fine.

However, there is a typo in the install file which adds an extra 'http://' to the topic address which the system PMs them. To fix it look for this line in the instructions:

PHP Code:

http://$bburl/showthread.php?threadid=".$threadid."[/url] 


and remove the 'http://' so it becomes:

PHP Code:

$bburl/showthread.php?threadid=".$threadid."[/url] 


Also some other minor changes I made and though I would share:

- To make the PM icon change from a sad smilie to a ! (exclamation) mark, search for this part of code in the instructions:

PHP Code:

".time().",0,9,0,0,0)"); 


and change the 9 to a 4...

PHP Code:

".time().",0,4,0,0,0)"); 


To find the number for any other message icon, i.e. the happy smilie, just right click and view the properties of the relevant posticon image (you can find them on a start new thread page, i.e. they are 1.gif, 2.gif etc.).

- I also created a new user called "MoveAlert" and disabled PMs for him. I then made the hack use that ID for all messages... just for presentation really.

1. Add a new user
2. Make note of the User ID number

3. Find this line:

PHP Code:

VALUES (NULL,$firstpostinfo[userid],$firstpostinfo[userid],1,'Your post has been moved.' 


Change the 1 (just before 'Your post has been moved.' to the new users ID number.

Finally I put a pair of quote marks around the title as it appears in the private message to make it look neater...

Find:

PHP Code:

$movemessage="Your thread entitled ".$threadinfo[title]." 


and add a ' to either end, i.e...

PHP Code:

$movemessage="Your thread entitled '".$threadinfo[title]."' 


Hope this lots is helpful and thanks for the original hack - very cool :squareeyed:
