I am working on modifying the Private Messages 3.8 version to perform the following:

- Mass Private Messaging (send pm to every user)
- Minor Vocabulary, Text Modifications
- Save Private Message To Harddrive (.txt file)
- Print Private Message
- Have Personal Address Book

Would anyone be interested in something like this? I won't know if I should continue until someone gives me some feedback as to what they want to see in the updated version or what they dont care to see.

Sure! thatd be great

Why not use the PM system in UBB6 instead of carrying over the old one?

If you want to make something, the one thing everyone's clamoring for is an importer to convert old PM messages into the new format.

Yes I would like to see it. A cool idea.

From the discription, this looks more like a big addon of features than a different PM system.

Release it!

exactly borg, is this for ubb v5 or ubb v6?

I would assume that its for ubb6. But maybe he put it in the wrong forum.

Danm I was looking forward to those funtions on ubb6... ^_^

It is for UBB6, and I am sure it wouldn't be too difficult to make that feature borg wanted. I will get right on the development of this script. Thanks

Cool yes .. will be interested in something like this!

it is great!
But why we can not be noticed whether a Private Message is waiting for us when we login! every time i have to go to my frofile to check my Private Message,it is too bad!

Good luck with this, Modder.

I'm looking forward to checking this out very much...

...and that importer would be amazing too!

if u get really creative u can display private messages on main page as is, but it get's really messy.

Actually that is possible despite caching. However I'm not sure how reliably it will work, and it will increase server load..

The idea is to add an extra CGI invocation that returns some Javascript. This script sets a variable to the number of new private messages, and then the standard login message Javascript can display a message about the new PMs. Alternatively you could have the script return an image (just the way the most web counters work).

It's just a workaround though..

Is it possible to make it so we can actually send PM's to people without having to go to one of their posts or their profile to send a PM to them?

Thats just one real ass that I'd have thought infopop would have made possible!

Thanks.. sounds great!

Not sure if Modder is coming back (hasn't posted in a month) and he/she never posted code.. moving to "requests".
