yes I am. Not trying to invade privacy, just want the option to make sure a member is not spamming.

Another way is to look at the post table in the database. PRIVATE_MESSAGE_POSTS

It is a table in the ubb database. For example if your host provides a control panel such as cpanel. You will usually have at least phpmyadmin. select it. Then select the ubb database. You will have around 64 tables depending on your ubb version. Scroll down to PRIVATE_MESSAGE_POSTS select it. Done.
Just fyi, I keep my nose out of it. I for one would want to think that the pm system is totally private. But beware you may find somebody talking about you. LOL.

I've always pushed for a "Report PT" option so users can report spam/abuse; a PT would then be readable by admin's in the CP to sort any "problems". Would keep PT's private except when a user involved wants to flag it abusive.

I have used some limited queries to just peek at how many pt's per user. But I will agree we should have some type of tools in the control panel. To manage them.
But a Notify button just like regular posts would be helpful also. Then if a user gets spammed they can get relief from somebody.

Another way is you can access the database table from the ubb control panel also. GOTO: Control Panel » Database Tools Select the SQL command tab. Place this in the query box. SELECT * FROM `ubbt_PRIVATE_MESSAGE_POSTS` This is a simple query that just displays all the fields and rows.
Then click on the execute button.
You also have the option to save that query for future use.

Would keep PT's private except when a user involved wants to flag it abusive. I agree, if someone says they are being spammed or harassed i ask them to set a temp password and than I login. I never become a member, only time I ever did was when people had issues resetting passwords but now I just create a md5 hash and change via phpmyadmin. I hate the idea of login in as anyone without permission.

Woah, be careful there Ruben.
Even on a moderate size board like mine - that query is going to return a heck of a lot of rows.

Yes it will. That is why I posted: This is a simple query that just displays all the fields and rows. And I personally don't agree on using it. For the point of peering in on personal posts.
