After some requests and a debate in the requests forum I've finally finished the majority of this hack. It allows the admin to find a user via the current method in the control panel then click view user's pm's. They are then shown all the pm's in the users folders.

Includes admin logging and is designed to use the cp.css file which is already used by the control panel. I considered adding a search feature but it would be hard without indexing all of the pm's the way vBulletin already does. This means it would be a very limited search.
You can also now select which admins can view user pm's this is done the same way that restriction to the adminlogging is done, the variable is at the top of pm.php

This hack involves uploading pm.php to the admin directory then following the instructions which requires you adding the two links within /admin/user.php

Updated 25th November 2001 @ 22:39

Update was to fix broken smilies by disabling them and to show pm's in all folders not just the inbox. To update simply upload pm.php to your admin folder again.

I realize your intentions are all good, but the fact is this will most likely be abused by tons of people. This hack has probably kept me from using some vB's Private messaging systems in the past few days, and will indefinately

Yes but they already have access to this information freely. This just places it in the AdminCP.

Cool Hack

It always has been accessable, true. But what percent of the admins of vB's out there(legal and illegal) do you think know/knew how to access them? I'd say under 30%. If phpMyAdmin isn't installed, then its even more difficult to retrieve the PMs. This makes it a breeze to read anyone's PMs at any time.

Darkreaper, if your not wanting any support for the hack stop complaining, this thread isn't for debating if its right or not, if an admin feels that its nescerary to do so then they can. Its not for you to decide or for anyone else.
Stop trying to force your views on this issue on others.

Oh I'm sorry PPN, I didn't realize opinions weren't allowed here. God forbid someone speak out against something you've made. Please forgive me.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
