Hi,
i think there is a lot of modification to make this hack perfect.

1. show all recent pn`s over acp
2. show users pn by listing user in recent pn?s list and not over manually id typing


When it?s work with the VB 2 Hack then there is great

I installed the Hack OK and it works great!

Thanks!

Now I would like to post a "WARNING" on the page, where users would CLICK to "Send Private Message" so that it will say something to the effect of:

"Send Private Message: - (WARNING: These messages are Monitored by the Administrators)"

Where exactly would I go to edit the current words: "Send Private Message"

So that right after these words I can ad the text of: "- (WARNING: These messages are Monitored by the Administrators)"

The only thing which I found so far, is from within the AdminCP, to do a Global search and replace of the text and this DID work.

However, since the text of "Send Private Message" appears twice on the same page, this makes it the "warning" redundant (twice on the same page).

Is there any easy way to change just one out of the above 2?

I don't understand what the result of the above would be, since what I want is for a few words of text to be displayed for every ordinary user when he wants to POST his private message (so he will be for-warned that it can be read by the Admin).

I for one like this hack cause I get members who sign up and then PM other members who talk $hit about me and I dont like that.
