After some requests and a debate in the requests forum I've finally finished the majority of this hack. It allows the admin to find a user via the current method in the control panel then click view user's pm's. They are then shown all the pm's in the users folders.
Includes admin logging and is designed to use the cp.css file which is already used by the control panel. I considered adding a search feature but it would be hard without indexing all of the pm's the way vBulletin already does. This means it would be a very limited search.
You can also now select which admins can view user pm's this is done the same way that restriction to the adminlogging is done, the variable is at the top of pm.php
This hack involves uploading pm.php to the admin directory then following the instructions which requires you adding the two links within /admin/user.php
Updated 25th November 2001 @ 22:39
Update was to fix broken smilies by disabling them and to show pm's in all folders not just the inbox. To update simply upload pm.php to your admin folder again.

Not only don't you have a notice like that on your website, but you now take it a step further and make it readily available to one or more admins to access and read a user's private communication without as much as asking a user's permission or even notifying him.
Again I must say that unless just about every vb owner HAS this altered Privacy Statement currently, regardless of if this hack has been installed, then they are ALREADY would be in violation of the law since they ALREADY have this ability WITHOUT this hack.
If the service you provide is offered in the USA, even if the server or your company are not in the USA, then you can be charged in the USA as well -- same goes for COPPA if you didn't know.
Furthermore, the Privacy Act is also enforced by the EU (European Union), so if at least 5% of your traffic come from the USA or the EU, you face liability in the USA and any EU member country.

Actually COPPA is also for general audience websites which may include kids, that collects information. In any event, that is not the point. The point was that even though COPPA is a USA act you as a service provider (assuming you fit the description of the law) are liable in the USA even if your company and server are outside the USA.
