Mod Version: 1.2.3, by DragonByte Tech

[DBTech] vBSuper PM's - Private Message Manager v1 (vB4)

Why use, vBSuper PM's?
Plain and simple, it is a full PM system enhancement. It has many options for admins to control how the members use pm's on their site

Want attachments in pm's? With the pro version this is allowed. Want to restrict pm's? This mod has many ways to do so. Want to allow users to block some users from pming them? This mod will allow that. Plus much, much more, which is described below.

There is not to many screenshots that I added due to the fact that there is just way to much to look at. Best thing to do is to download the mod and give it a test drive.
