Thanks again yoyoyoyo

one way is to go to who's online and hover over the link with their name and look at the bottom of the browser. You will see an address something like:

h*tp://yoursite.com/forums/member.php?u=8

obviously u=8 is the user number. glad to help

All that discussion going on about the privacy aspect of this ..

.. you realize you as admin have full access to all the email addresses your members provide to you? They are stored in plain text for example, and you can sell them to third party companies for a lot of money. Your members trust you not to do that, why?

Exactly.

hello floris

it's good hack... even the trust part is not allowing me to install it but if i need it i'll install it. i have one question is does it work in vb 3.0.5 or 3.0.6. i allready read the part in the info file that said "DISCLAIMER: This source code modification is written for
vBulletin version 3.0.0 beta 5 - it will (probably) not work on lower or higher versions." but since long time have bass mybe you did some changes to it.

please let me know and thank you in advance.

It's aseparate script from vB 3.0.6. so unless they changed the part of theDB that stores PM's, then Yes it will work for 3.0.6

I am currently useing it in vB 3.0.6 with no problems at all, I installed this hack cause a board I am on was hacked and through PMsearch they found who it was and when I was told who it was I found they was on my vB board as well, we was able to join forces and get the person and all the accounts they had hacked.

This script will work with any version of vB 3.x so far. It is a separate script from vB itself, so it's independant from vB.
