================================================== IP.Board 2.3.6: PM Flood Control Update ================================================== (c) 2009 Invision Power Services, Inc. ABOUT ----- This update adds in PM (personal message) flood control. This will prevent users from 'spamming' via PM by enforcing a wait between sending PMs. After you have added this patch, there will be two new settings (ACP -> Tools & Settings -> Personal Message Set-up) to allow you to enter a value for a global PM flood control and another to allow specific groups (for example, admins) to bypass the flood control. APPLYING PATCH -------------- Simply upload all the files except "ipb_settings_partial.xml". Log into your ACP. Click on the Tools & Settings tab. Scroll down to the "XML settings file tools" section Click the browse button for "Upload XML settings file from your computer" and locate "ipb_settings_partial.xml" Click "Run Tool" Then you can click on "Personal Message Set-up" to set up these new settings.
