Admins can view user's PM's

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.

I have no idea how to find line 294, any suggestions

[Mustang5ohhh]

Open the user.php using NotePad or WordPad and find line 294.

You can see the line #s in the bottom right hand side of the window.

[Mustang5ohhh]

Use NotePad ... the count is in the bottom right hand corner "Ln 1,Col 1 "

My forum data is 100% my property. It is not the property of the members. Do you guys file lawsuits when 1 user deletes a thread with 100 replies? Do I have to get permission from you to take down my server or move things around? If you draw a picture in my sketchbook and give the sketchbook to me, you don't have any ownership over the sketch anymore.

There is NOTHING implied nor are any representations made about privacy by any kind of labeling or documentation in vBulletin.

The hypocracy in this thread is shocking. Disgruntled employees are getting their butts sued off for their "1st amendment" postings on public forums. And you think someone can sue a forum and win for doing what they want with their messages? You can't have it both ways.

All this said, I treat my forum members with utmost respect if they have earned it.
