Thanks for the update!

A minor omission. I have installed this modification in several sites and it did work but on a couple of them you need to add the following:

below

This will effectively grab the page passed and make the script work.

Thanks for the fix. I'll update the first post of the thread.

When I try this - I am getting a blank page, instead of the list of PM's being diplayed - can't see any errors that I have made.

If I look at the source for the page, it does not even appear to call the tmpl as nothing is in the code.

Language files maybe Ian?

I get a Parse error in live 225 of viewmessages.php.

The lines 223-226 look like this
[]
223 // Grab the tablewrapper
224 list($tbopen,$tbclose) = $html -> table_wrapper();
225
226 include("$thispath/templates/$tempstyle/viewmessages.tmpl");[/]

Can anyone help with this error or offer a suggestion on how to end up with similar results? (ie making PM's show up as flat mod with multiple viewd at one time or with previous and next buttons)

I would say that you have a small typo before those lines. Usually it is a missed ; or a "

Check the instructions and if you still haven't found it give us a shout.

Converted for 6.5 (very minor edits were needed).

Oh, I nearly forgot:

I added a "Send a PM" botton to the messages screen(where it should have allways been one IMO)

In viewmessages.tmpl
Search for

<td class="navigation" nowrap="nowrap">
<!-- prevoption is either previous.gif or greyprevious.gif -->

Insert BEFORE:
<td class="navigation" nowrap="nowrap"> 
<a href="{$config['phpurl']}/sendprivate.php?Cat=0">Send a PM</a> 
</td>


There are 2 of those strings, so you will have to do this twice in this file.

The overall result looks like this:
