This thread will contain all the useful screenshots regarding this package.
First, “Quote Post in pm/email to Poster“
When a user have the permissions to send PM, or send Email, and the poster have the same permissions, a new link appear in the Postbit Popup, like here:
as you can see, the Private Message part is now seperate in the “Contact X” part, this is to help us find the right function. The links only appear when the reader have permission to use them.
Then, as decided in the AdminCP >> vBulletin Options >> Private Messaging Revisited:
The result comes that way: Here is a Quoted Post in a PM, with the Thread Title added in the message title:
And here is a Quoted Post in a Email, without the Thread title, with out custom title that you can edit:
…. That’s it for this feature.
Why it makes it different from the other versions found elsewhere?
- This one use the existing functions in vBulletin instead of creating new ones, so a smaller footprint.
- This one verify the permissions of access to the thread/post quoted only once, from the original vBulletin process, making it a smaller code of 6 lines instead of 50.
- This one mimic the already existing “quote post”, instead of creating new permissions and new bloated needs.
- This one can send the quote to a Email, so you can contact the poster outside the site. — good for moderators!
Again this is a minimal feature, but use the great possibilities of the included functions inside vBulletin. And as usual, no template edit, no code edit…

What about “Search Messages“…
vB 3.8 already have “search sender”, “search title”, we miss the message content… now we have it!
to make it possible, instead of coding a complete new structure, i simply Hi-Jacked the original code and added the possibility to search the message text instead of the just the title… now you simply have to put what you need to search and click “Filter” to make it possible.
