I updated the download with the new changes... thanks borg_5x8. To get the changes, just upload the newer .cgi/ .pl files...
The best way to upgrade this would be to begin writing it in strict -w -T, that way it would work with v6 and previous versions of ubb as well... we're just around the corner...
a couple of changes everyone has been clamoring for:
- a way to limit the number of pm's or the length of time (days) a pm can be stored... for those who keeps hundreds for months on end, using up the disk space...
- related, have the outbox set to not save any by default, then let the user select to save if they desire. Most people do not even know they have an outbox.
- a cc: box to send to more than one person
- a "select all" button, to delete all.
- a way to send to an email address
- here's a cool suggestion by C_P: Another suggestion for the new version of PM, would be a way to fwd our messages to ourselves via sendmail.. This could be neat too if there was an admin function to do this.
Example: The Private dir is loaded with old messages. The admin could fwd all of them to their owners via email, then clean the dir. They could do this maybe monthly, perhaps via a crontab. Larger sites could have sections that were sent at different times.
- The auto delete function would definitely be a cool / much needed idea...
