Weird problem

Hi again, I am new to VB after using PHPBB I am very impressed, but a weird problem has cropped up for me since moving over, on my old PHPBB forum I had installed a hack that would send a new member a welcome PM from me (as admin) to them, now this hack seems to have moved over to the VB forum as well but it is using the id of a different member thus a pm is sent not from but from the regular member to anyone new.

Has anyone any idea where the code for the previous hack might be placed within VB? then I am sure I could just change the userid to myself and it would be working fine. I had a look at some of the hacks for VB that do the same thinking the old code would be in the same files but so far not come across it.

Any help or ideas would be very much appreciated

have you tried installing the vB version of this hack and runing through that installation? You might stumble across hte old PHPBB code (if its there) in the process

I believe the hack might come with a vbulletin setting or configuration where you can adjust the adminstrator id to the one so that it is sent from that user.

If you can link to the hack I will take a look and let you know.

It would be this area here right g-force?

PHP Code:

SET user_new_privmsg = '1', user_last_privmsg = '9999999999'
    WHERE user_id = $user_id";
