but I wouldnt use it as it would encourage people to discuss privatly when there is a public board at their disposal!

I don't think encouraging people to dicuss things privately is such a bad idea. Especially when the concept of a 'message board' turns into a 'chat board' full of spam. ugh!

Nice hack mate, I just changed the gif a bit to fit with a board that has a lot of members and it dosn't seem to clutter up so much.

Thanks man, it looks great.

I don't have a super busy board (yet ), but this is a great template addition!

I have edited the icon to take just the pushpin and added the same background as the table background. This made it blend in more and also decreased the size of the pic.

You can see it at www.simpsonsboard.com



Thanks!!

Might I add that you can use any image you'd like, but that's just the image I chose. Just make sure to change the image name in the template if the image has a different name than sendpmonline.

since my board isnt that busy i think ill add it

Yeah, I posted it at vBulletin.org originally, but then they locked it and told me to post it over here, so here I am. I don't know coding that well...I just love to modify templates.

Oops. Ok.

Mental Note : No Code; it goes here : Code hacking, it goes vbulletin.org.

Only thing is with a board that has a hundred or so online members, that gets mighty large!

Correct, and that is the downside to this hack. That's the only reason why I don't have it implemented my board.

Here is what it looks like:



Once you click on that image, it will bring up a new private message with their name already filled in.

And here is the image that you'll need:



Be sure to save the image as sendpmonline.
