Version History
(0.1) First release, read pms by entering userid
(0.2) Shows a list of users that have pms
(0.3) Search pms
(0.4) Made superadmin only
(0.5) Read pms by entering username (or userid)

Maybe if something like this has been around and used, Sept. 11th might have gone a different route.

Whoever installed this really do not deserved to have a forum!!

paul, any forum administrator can already read the members private messages by looking at the database. you dont need this modification at all to read them.

anyway, i think theres a thread somewhere at vb.org that deals with this very issue, and I think that would be the best place to express your concerns. not sure where that thread is tho.

Not being nosy here, but why would you dissuade and betray the trust of your members with such a hack?

This in my opinion is like reading somebody else's Emails.

If the PM is not addressed to you, than in my opinion, it should not be read by anybody but the person it was originally sent to.

There are many different 'Read PM's' hacks around, it makes no sense to discuss if it is a good thing to read them over and over again in each hack's thread.

If you feel that it is worth discussing, please start a thread about the morals in the Lounge (or find an old one discussing this), and keep the thread of the hacks to the hack code itself please.

you dont need this hack to "dissuade and betray the trust of your members".

An older version of this i use to use added "Read PM's" to the admin user's page in the drop down (where ban user is, etc). It also allowed you to view by inbox, outbox, and other folders. Lastly, it allowed you to jump to another users box if you clicked their name in a pm. Just ideas.

Dream,

Is there any way to show up the last suppose 100 or 200 pm's for all the users in on page as it in the pm read hack for VB 307 instead of searching for each member?

Regards

can this be put on the menu in the administration panel, so I can just click on the selection there to view private messages without remembering the file php name.

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