So I was browsing around and I found this topic

https://help.forumotion.com/t134524-remove-find-a-username-from-messages?highlight=messages

This describes a code which removes the "Find a Username" option from messages. So I thought to take it one step further.

Remove the Find username from messages BUT lets say keep it activated for a specific usergroup. Is that possible??

Hello @ViciousPassion,
I think it is possible to do it via javascript by controlling the user level data.

It would be nice if I knew how. I see you are greek, like myself. Could you provide more help? Im really bad with codes xD

Hello,
I think @_Twisted_Mods_ or @Ange Tuteur can help us to develop this code.

Hi,

What type of usergroup do you want it to only display for ? If it's moderators it'll be simple, if not I suppose the only other option would be AJAX.

AJAX is a person??

Here is what im thinking. I want to create a vip membership option for my members. One of the benefits of my vips would be that they will be able to have a usergroup of their own (so his/her followers can subscribe) and the vip will be able to message their entire usergroup. Offcourse I want this option disable for simple members (hence I want "find username" disable so they cant send messages to usergroups either). Also it would be even better if only the owner of each usergroup (group mod) would be able to mass message his followers alone. So the one vip wouldnt be able to send mass messages to usergroup that wouldn't belong to him.

I found a way to create "fake mods" though if that makes any difference. I create a forum category visible only to admins and made the vips mods there. That way they cant even see the category they are mods in lol.

Sorry for the headache xD
