The code has been upgraded to the latest .NET core version. Please check instructions in the Community Announcements about migrating your account.
Here is what I would like to do:
On a page outside my forum I would like a hyperlink that would send a member a static message. Basically the link takes you to a form in the forum, you fill in the form and it sends the message. Then when a member logs in they have a link alerting them to a message.
Example: I want members to be able to challenge each other like so.
Page outside forum with link: Challenge
>>User clicks the link and is sent to form in forum (so I need the M_Member name to carry over so the message already is labeled "From" correctly) fill in date, time, challenge, hit send.
>>Message goes to the member challenged, the message is titled challenge, and from member who issued it, with a hyperlink accept challenge or reject challenge these links would in turn send a static message back to the original member letting them know if the challenge was accepted or rejected.
I kind of have an idea on how to do this, but since I already have PM's installed, I figure that most of the work is done I just need to modify it a bit to include challenges along with PM's.
I figure there is lot's of ways that this simple add on could be added to different sites i.e a dating site could have a quick way to accept or reject in invite. So, I am hoping someone will be interested in helping me with this, or at the very least one of the snitz guru's will help point me in the right direction!

Not quite and, to be honest, I have nowhere near the time to write something like this, though. The basics would work something like this, though:
01. You'll need a link to privatesend.asp just like any other except you'll need to add a new variable to the querystring to indicate that the PM is a challenge.
02. In privatesend.asp, create a check for the new vriable in your querystring and, if it's there, change the type of the subject input to hidden and give it a value of "Challenge", or whatever you want. Also, add a new hidden input to hold the value of your new querystring variable.
03. In privatesend_info.asp, add a check for the new field to see if the message being sent is a challenge. If it is, add the accept and reject links to the end of the message's body.
04. The accept & reject links will need to link to a custom script and pass the original message ID through the querystring as well as a boolean to indicate whether it has been accepted or rejected. This script would then shoot off an automated message to the challenger indicating the response of the recipient.

fact that the mad priest lady from over the river had
taken to nailing weasels to my front door again.”
