In the screenshot, where it says you need a total of 100 posts. That is replaced with the number you have in the AdminCP.

Thanks, I'm going to adapt this for the v3 Arcade..

Hate to say this, but yet another useless hack. Somthing that can be acomplished by default within vBulletin 3's system.


How you ask?

Usergroup Promotions:
Default usergroup gets NO pm permissions
add a secondary usergroup that has PM's enabled
Add a promotion to add user to new group when XXX posts number is reached

Useless to you. Don't knock it unless you know that some people don't find this handy. I find it perfect. I want all usergroups to be the same. NO pm's until X posts. Simple as that.

Just a little update to what I said:

I personally would rather hack my board with, 3 lines of code, a phrase, and an option that have to fuss with another usergroup, and permissions for all my forums (53 forums) - I could just mock the permissions, but I set my forums up to be different each time.

Note this hack has several flaws, the main one being everyone can still receive PM's if they are switched on and be notified they have new PM's, yet not be able to view them.

IMO the promotions route is a lot more comprehensive and at the end of the day the little time taken to do it means greater benefits for all. I know, I've done both methods on my board.

lol i might of had use for this if NTLDR hadn't pointed that out

Why would you want to change permissions for your 53 forums? We are talking about the PM system here...

You dont need to change any permissions, create a new usergroup and base their permissions off the registered usergroup

I am still pretty new with the system, so yeah I guess what I said makes no sense at all.. is there anyway I can request this hack to be deleted?

Don't delete it......no hack is a bad hack. I certainly have a use for this, as I have over 35 usergroups.....it's a pain in the arse to set up permissions for each group, then add promotions for each group. Yes, I can do it that way......but your hack has saved me about an hour and a half! Thank you!

Buc thats what "Base usergroup off of" and "Base usergroup permissions off of" are for

[poetic]

Zach, what would you do if they are already created? Also.. did no one seem to notice I'm going update this soon (Says in the text file) that you can't send PM's to a user who can't use PM system yet?
