PLEASE REMEMBER TO BACKUP BEFORE YOU INSTALL!

Thanks: Thanks to Andreas for writing the [HowTo] Send PM's Automatically. This was inspired by Cloud Warrior's really cool vbFriends hack, which lacked this functionality and it seemed like many people would want it.

about: I'm taking this out of beta, as i think it's working all right by now. Any advice on how to improve this, comments, or bugs - are more than welcome, as I will do my best to address all.

If you use this, please click the install thingie

I am currently running this version of the hack on 3.6.5. Unfortunately, it is 50% useless since it doesn't send out a PM when the user adds someone to their buddy list without going through the profile or postbit first.

Has anyone been able to rectify this? If so I would be grateful, as this is something I'm quite dependant of.

I'd like to install this as well... waiting for a fully functioning version that will work with 3.6.5+

THANKS!

Does not work on 3.6.4 uninstalled.

I like that mod so much, waitng for that mod to update my board

Thanks for sharing antirus.

Unfortunately I am abandoning development on this modification, as I no longer have any use for it and don't have the time to port it over to 3.6.x . If any coders would like to pick up on this where I left off, PM me.

Any news on this for 3.6.7?

Does anyone know how I can make this hack not send PM's to members when an admin or moderator adds them to thier buddy list. I want to use this to monitor certain bad members and when I add them I dont want to PM to go to them.
