Floris, has this been updated to work with vB 3.0 Gold? Does it need to be?

Works fine mate

I have tried downloading the zip file in the first post by floris, and it won't open. Is there a problem with this file?

All the files here stopped downloading correctly in IE yesterday. Download and install via Opera and it will open fine. The non java version of Opera is 3.7 megs.

It comes down to a personal choice and more importantly, a public disclosure. I know this hack is not for me or my board but it may be for yours. What matters is that you explain or at least honestly answer any questions about security that your users may ask. If they post about your ability to read messages tell them you can and explain your privacy policy. My board doesn't touch PM's with a 10 foot pole and our users know that. If you feel abuse is prevelant and you need to read messages, that's fine as well, just tell people.

Unless you shout out that you installed this hack, no one will know
and if ya have a large board, you have better things to do then browsing your members pm's (you must be very bored to do that

)

I just used it when i have suspicious types among the members...

my two cents

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