Everyone has, he says he would provide a solution, but none has been provided.

Can I just ask, what are the benefits of deleting these messages?
I know some members chat back and forth via the profile comments

cheers

What are the benefits of HAVING these messages in the first place?

Cons: They potentially take away activity from the forum, add something else to be monitored for potential abuse, and take up space in the database.

Pros: ???

Thanks to some staff on VBulletin I got a query that will reset the count after deletion. I then implemented it into the current code.

Find in visitormessagedelete.php:

Code:

$vbulletin->db->query_write("DELETE FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "visitormessage");

Add Below:

Code:

$vbulletin->db->query_write("UPDATE "  . TABLE_PREFIX . "user SET vmunreadcount = '0'");
