Decent idea, thanks for sharing.

Corriewf · #5 12-16-2005, 09:36 AM

Looks good but can you use BB format for your code instead of just regular text?

ShadowOne · #6 12-16-2005, 10:01 AM

Is There A Way I Can Add This To A Table Instead?

By default, this hack allows staff to contact other staff.. wouldn't it be more useful to allow OTHER groups to contact staff?

COBRAws · #8 12-16-2005, 07:07 PM

It would be more suitable if it used the sendmessage.php

Why? Because not everyone has an email program installed. IE: Cybercafes, etc

You can customize it however you want, add usergroups, change usergroups howeva you want.

I intitally was going in that direction, but changed my mind.

If you use hotmail, msn, yahoo, which ever you use as your default email reader/fetcher/client.

I didn't use sendmessage.php because I didn't want to go the site.

JsnakeJ · #10 12-17-2005, 06:29 PM

Its not as 'safe' to give out their emails like that as it would be to just go through the sendmessage.php page.

Good idea but I don't think my forum needs it.

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