What is vBPunch?
vBPunch is a quick way of sending a warning PM to a user, based on a post they have made.
It adds a link to the postbit called "Punch User". When an admin clicks this, vBPunch pops up a textbox letting the admin type a reason (if they wish, it's optional), then it sends the user a PM.
What makes vBPunch so special then???!?
The useful thing about vBPunch is that it does it all in the backgorund using Ajax. That means, no popup windows, no page refreshes, nothing. All the admin does is click the "Punch User" link, enter a reason if needed, then continues reading the thread / post, without being interupted.
Installation
Please read install.html located in the zip file
Un-installation
Please read install.html located in the zip file. Please ensure that you delete the uploaded files, before un-installing the product in the vBulletin AdminCP, otherwise you will recieve errors when you edit a usergroup.
Important: Unfortunately, my leased vBulletin licence has now expired, and I won't be renewing it until September which means I will be unable to reply to this thread, or update this mod until then. I'm hopeful that the great vBulletin.org community will step in to answer any questions in my absence though See you all in early September!

Very strange. Because not only me have that problem. And also the problem is that forum is not recognizing PM at all!!! It is not even showing that there is any PM, forum shows that there is 0 PM received, after 10 refreshes nothing change. Only when I go in PM forlder I can see it there, but that is the only way to see it. :disappointed:

Concerning the PM popup problem, does your unread PM count increase upon a warning? I think you may see that it won't. Those of us who have the PM popup option turned off will never see an indication of a new PM. Try turning off your PM popup option: AdminCP -> vBulletin Options -> Private Messaging Options -> Instant Messaging Support - Check for New Private Messages.
Hey, quick request here, probably 75% of people on here could help me out.
I have this hack installed and working beautifully. Now, I would like to change it up a bit so that it will check in a different directory, based on which style is being used. I know this is possible, since the Multiquote hack I installed does this. I think it has something to do with using the $style variable or something similar.
Basically, instead of having the punch image uploaded to /images/vbpunch, I would like to have it be something like /images/$styleid/vbpunch so that I can have both a light colored and dark colored image for the punch button.
Also, if there is any interest, a friend on my site has made a new punch icon to go with a dark theme (Afterdark from vbstyles, specifically). I'd be happy to attach that for anyone who would use it.
