vBulletin Version Compatibility
This hack can be used with v3.6.10 and v3.7.x. This has not been tested with earlier versions of v3.6.x, but should work.
What Does This Hack Do?
Your own vBulletin Boss Key, is displayed in the postbit of each post, so you can quickly click yourself to the safety of legitimate url when the boss turns up, while you are at work.
I have created a custom button for this hack, you can use another button if you like, just remember to rename it panic.gif. You can have a different button for each style, as long as each one is named panic.gif.
NOTE: Any Panic Button you see in a thread is tied to your profile, even if it is in someone else's postbit (to prove it, disable the Panic Button in the your UserCP)
This hack was created because of a requested here.
If your members report errors when clicking on the panic button, first thing to ensure is that they used the full url (including http://) when typing in the site their panic button will go to, ie http://www.google.com (will work) and not like this - www.google.com (will not work). The second thing to check for, is that the Panic Button - URL Jump box is not empty.

Uninstall Instructions

Can anyone help? I have all options there for user options, but it's just not showing up within the thread. The icon/image isn't there for the users to click on. Why not?

Not without knowing what you did exactly. Or if you have heavily customized templates. When all else fails, uninstall and start over.
and that did nothing. the option is still showing on my User CP under edit options - everything is turned ON yet there is no panic button within the threads.
Well slap me nakkid! I figured it out. I went back and looked at the older version of this and saw that that one needed a postbit add on. I gave it a shot and added that code and there it is!!
