Add to headers if you don't have it already...
<script src="/jquery.js"></script>
<script>
if($("td.titlebg2 span b").not($("td.titlebg2 span b:contains(News)")).html()){
$(".maintab_back:contains(Logout)").after('<td class="maintab_last"> </td><td class="maintab_first"></td><td valign="top" class="maintab_back"><a href="http://XXXXXXX.smfforfreeX.com/index.php?action=pm;sa=send">New Message</a></td>')
};
</script>
Place in Headers.
This just adds a tab with a New Message link in it. Simple, yet helpfull.
You will need to change the X's in the code to your board name and server.
