Hmm - Installed on 3.6.2 - thought it was working - however, despite having "Enable "Request Receipt" checkbox by default?" activated - it's not...

I've had this hack running for ~1 year now, and would really like to figure out a way to get it working again.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

TIA,

Where did I say that this hack works with 3.6.2? It it posted in the 3.5 modification section. If you are installing it on 3.6.x, you might want to read the disclaimer at the top of readme.html.

i know that it is made for 3.5
but it worked fine with 3.6 until i activated the pm notification
so i hopped that somebody had the same problem and solved it

i didn't want to attack you with my post

Is there any way to make this 3.5 version so that only shows these additional feature to certain usergroups?

Yeah, sure, but why would you want to restrict the use of these features? It's not a hack of abilities, it's a hack of usability...

I want to make this option for my premium members only rather then all usergroups.
How can I make this only for certain usergroups?
