This simple mod does what is says on the tin, it adds a PM button in the postbit footer using the vBulletin 4.0.2 css convention for mouseover buttons.
Note: This mod is NOT compatible with vBulletin 4.0.1 or earlier.
It could be argued that this is a little superfluous as there is a PM link in the dropdown under the members name, but that link requires a "click>>>scroll>>>click" to get to where you want to be. If your members use the PM system a lot, then they may appreciate a "one click" option.
There are...
