Is there any way to make it so you can see WHO a person sent a message to?

[J.C.]

Wow...been a year and 2 months, where's the v3.0.7 one? =P

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Well if you read back just 1 page, you will see that this version also work on vB3.0.7

O.k, I have officially ripped the hair out of the entire left side of my head (my right side is my good side and Im trying to save it if possible).

I have now read every page of this thread about 3x and Im still having issues (mind you the only hacks I have personally installed are Arcade Hacks) which means thus far Im useless, but I am trying and thank god for backing things up or I would be screwed.

With that said here's my issues.
I have installed:
Give it 2 uf 43's version pmview
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....1&postcount=59

When I follow the url path to that (instead of trying to add it into the control panel directly which Ill discuss below.

It continues to tell me:
You have to be a super administrator to moderate reported private messages, this can be set within config.php

I am running version 3.0.6 and I cannot find the config.php file in order to change it in hopes of not getting the message anymore.

So than I moved on to the next option I saw discussed which is adding it directly the the admin interface as opposed to running it outside of the admin area.

My biggest issue is simply the fact that Im an idiot, but regardless any help would be greatly appreciated. I can't for the life of me find or figure this part out:
now create a new phrase in "Control Panel User Management" as follows:
varname: view_users_pms
text: View Users PM's

Do I login to the actual Admin Control Panel to do this? Is it under the vbulletin options?? If so is it called something different?

I will say I would prefer to be able to simply view the last 200 PM's sent regardless of using a different login or whatever to do so as opposed to searching a specific user's pm's, the board is fairly large and has about 30+ employee's using the PM system so to manually search each one might be a real pain.

Thanks for reading my ramble, and anyone that can set someone straight that probably shouldnt be touching this stuff would be greatly appreciated

I am sorry but I think this is a total invasion of privacy.

Whoever installed this really do not deserved to have a forum!!
