Hello, recently i sent out a message on my forum asking my members what they would like on the boards, and some of them got back to me asking for a private messaging facility (not the one built into vbulletin) but one where they can post like you would on a forum, but only the OP can see it, is there something like this out there?

Does OP = Origianl Poster? If so go to ACP > Forums > select a forum and click edit permissions. Then for the registered members group put set the following options.

Can view their own thread? YES
Can view others threads? NO

Do this for other groups as appropriate then only the people that have can view other threads set to yes can see the thread (staff and original poster)

I'd find the forum on the Forum Permissions list and first hit Deny All, then I'd go in and add permissions as above for certain usergroups.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
