No support by the author.

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.

True, but like stated earlier in this thread, some admins have issues with PM spam and have a great need for this hack and they DO spell it out in the privacy agreement as well as the FAQ. That's the reason I said to check the thread because we have had this same conversation and Bira was even kind enough to point out the legal aspects for boards that are businesses.

I mention that I *can* read private messages in the pirvacy statement and it doesn't seem to bother users. I think i've used it twice in total on my live boards and it was to deal with threats via PM.
If someone says they are being threatened over PM then how do you prove it? You have to look into the database, this simply makes it easier and if you have no self restraint to use it only when needed then your simply invading their privacy.

yeah, and what do you do when they only send one pm but it contains a threat or something worse, but the user deletes it.

This hack wasn't designed to hunt through the users pm's for spam, it was simply to confirm any issues that people may have brought to your attention.

Many users might pm you saying SoandSo is sending you spam, you can simply deal with this by confirming that they are.

Great hack, man

Just a tiny addition.

If find
makelinkcode("email","mailto:$user[email]").
somewhere around line 1463 and add
makelinkcode("view pm's","pm.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=list&userid=$user[userid]").
Just after, you get the option to view PM's from the PM statistics part too.
