Changelog

Version 1.1

Added the ability to add/remove reputation points when punching
Added usergroup permissions - you can now choose which usergroups are allowed to use vBPunch
Now includes 3 "Punch User" images as well as the text link
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.

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!

The previous version worked great, this new 1.2 version gives me problems. Using vBulletin 3.5.1
I re-uploaded all new files. Re-imported the product XML, set to overwrite old one.
Still says version 1.1 in the product page. I even re-build bitfields, and replaced the html in the templates again. Every single thread becomes completely unreadable with an error that states:
Parse error: parse error in /pathtomyforums/showthread.php(96) : eval()'d code on line 28
