All the steps will work fine for 3.5rc2 with the exception of step 1a, because the code has changed. Instead, find:

PHP Code:

if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'sendtofriend' OR $_POST['do'] == 'dosendtofriend')
{
    $forumperms = fetch_permissions($threadinfo['forumid']);

    if (!($forumperms & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_forumpermissions['canview']) OR !($forumperms & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_forumpermissions['canviewthreads']) OR !($forumperms & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_forumpermissions['canemail']) OR (($threadinfo['postuserid'] != $vbulletin->userinfo['userid']) AND !($forumperms & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_forumpermissions['canviewothers'])))
    {
        print_no_permission();
    }

    // check if there is a forum password and if so, ensure the user has it set
    verify_forum_password($foruminfo['forumid'], $foruminfo['password']);

} 


and replace with:

PHP Code:

if (!$_REQUEST['refer'])
{
if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'sendtofriend' OR $_POST['do'] == 'dosendtofriend')
{
    $forumperms = fetch_permissions($threadinfo['forumid']);

    if (!($forumperms & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_forumpermissions['canview']) OR !($forumperms & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_forumpermissions['canviewthreads']) OR !($forumperms & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_forumpermissions['canemail']) OR (($threadinfo['postuserid'] != $vbulletin->userinfo['userid']) AND !($forumperms & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_forumpermissions['canviewothers'])))
    {
        print_no_permission();
    }

    // check if there is a forum password and if so, ensure the user has it set
    verify_forum_password($foruminfo['forumid'], $foruminfo['password']);

}
} 


Note, I don't want credit for this hack not working or working. I didn't write it - but I did verify it works
