Configuration

This product supports three different messages;

Verified - This is used on my site to show that a PM has come from a moderator, a super moderator or an administrator, and therefore its contents can be trusted.

Authorised - This is used on my site to show a PM has come from an authorised trader - someone who has paid to trade on my site.

Untrusted - And as I get a lot of people who just create accounts to try and sell junk via the PM system, this one I use to show a PM has come from an newbie account.

All of the above are triggered by the PM senders group ID, and these are controlled by the following options;



You can simply change the settings above to suit your needs. If a particular banner isn't wanted then leave the setting blank. This product is fully phrased so you can change any of the messages as needed.

Example

Here are some examples of each of the banners. The verified banner;

Although I've written this product for vB 4 the original idea came from the PM Security Certificate product written by magnus.
Thanks to DS MrSinister for spotting the vBulletin 4.0.7 problem.
