Please click Mark as Installed if you are using this hack.
What Does This Hack Do? This is an update to my 3.8.x version of this hack, designed to work with vBulletin v4.0.x. Do your members ever view your site from work when they should not be doing so? Will they get in to trouble if they do get caught by their boss? If the answer is yes to both questions, then this hack is for you. This hack gives your members their own vBulletin Boss Key (i.e. Panic button), which is displayed at the bottom of the postbit in each post (and each PM), so your members can quickly click themselves to the safety of legitimate url if the boss turns up, while your members are at work. NOTE: Any Panic Button you see in a thread is tied to your profile, even if it is in someone else's postbit (to prove it, disable the Panic Button in the your UserCP) This hack was created because of a requested here. If your members report errors when clicking on the panic button, first thing to ensure is that they used the full url (including http://) when typing in the site their panic button will go to, ie http://www.google.com (will work) and not like this - www.google.com (will not work). The second thing to check for, is that the Panic Button - URL Jump box is not empty. Limitation with this hack People keep asking for usergroup permissions for this hack. While this would easy to implement, what people fail to realise is that User Profile Fields are not controlled by usergroup permissions at all, and even if usergroup permissions were added to this hack, the User Profile Fields would still be viewable by members even if they do not have permissions to use them. User Profile Fields are either viewable by all or viewable by none, this is how they were implemented in vBulletin by design, there is no in between with User Profile Fields. So, I will not be adding usergroup permissions to this hack. vBulletin Version Compatibility This hack can be used with vBulletin versions 4.0.0 - 4.1.11. For the v3.8.x version of this hack, which will also work with v3.7.x and v3.6.x - check here. Hack Support/Feature Requests IMPORTANT: This hack is no longer supported.

Installed. Thank you! I had a little problem with getting report.gif to show at first but other than that, the installation was smooth and my users are going to love this. Nominated

HI Mosh,
After a closer look, this doesn't work correctly if you have blogs because the panic button removes the VBulletin "Blog This Post" button. Here's with Panic Off And now with Panic On I really want to use this great mod. Can you look into this or point me in the right direction of where I can alter the code so it doesn't overwrite VBulletin's "Post to Blog" area? Thanks On edit, just noticed it it also wipe's out Abe's Post Thank You hack  Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated. I'm using VB4 Suite Thanks No members have liked this post.

I have it installed along with the POST THANK YOU mod-- using default skin for VB4 --- the Panic Button does not show up.
Any thoughts? EDIT: Uninstalled due to conflicts. No members have liked this post.

Hey DD, it looks like a direct conflict with Abe1's TY mod and given the choice of one or the other it's a no-brainer. Hope to see this fixed to play nice with TY mod.

Mosh, you think you will be able to deconflict this mod with the thank you mod?
Would be a good thing, I think many folks would like to have both running. Doc No members have liked this post.
