UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V6.4 - 6.7 Modifications V6 Mod Ideas PM's being deleted. Query

Hi! You know with PM's, you reply to them and they get deleted. Well, I am sure its just a small line of code that needs changing but not sure where.
I would be greatful if someone could tell me how to stop my PM's being deleted when I reply to them
Thankyou for your time.

In the german forum we have a discussion about this.

ubb_pm.cgi ca. line 1200


set a # for unless and the } (see below)
now the pm are not deleted but only the last receiver can read it.So i think if you change this in line ca line 470

replace the second if line with this

Now i think both can read the PM.
I do not test ist.Try it an report.

you will find it two times in the file, replace it only in the sub get_pm { and not in the sub pm_delete {

if only the receiver can delete the pm, the sender lost his control over the numbers of his stored messages (he can't delete old replied messages)
but if both can delete the pm its possible that the sender delete the pm after reply, before the receiver it has read

i think the better way is to send the reply as a new pm to the receiver and don't change the original pm

easy, da mein englisch nicht das beste ist hoffe ich, ich hab mich verständlich ausgedrückt, wenn nicht poste ich es nochmal auf deutsch, versuch bitte nochmal die möglichkeit die antwort als neue pm zu schicken anstatt die original pm und den user_record des antwortenden zu ändern

Than add in line 1429 this line


So if the receiver do not read the PM nobody can deleted it.
