I'm guessing we will never get a complete full answer to such a simple question! Rolling Eyes


The answer is here, it’s been spelled out above.

An admin has to pretty much take over the persons account by changing the password of the account to see what is in private messaging for that account. Otherwise, a single file on the server stores all of the private messages and can be viewed by an admin, but the messages are just kind of lumped altogether from everyone making it hard to tell who said what in what private message to whom. That make sense?

Further, if an admin takes over an account to view private messages by changing the password, then the person who is using that account will know because the password will have been changed.

Maybe someone could suggest (to Ilia) storing the private message file with a hash, making it more difficult for the regular forum admin to read casually (in the proper forum area).

Is that a complete answer to the question? Smile

Just trying to be helpful.



Yes, it does make sense and thank you for clarifying HOW it can be done!!!
