Move inactive users to new usergroup

[Paul M]

As of 24 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.

If a member has not visited the forum for a defined number of days (180 by default) then they will be moved from their existing usergroup to another usergroup (this can be any existing usergroup, however, you should really create a new 'Inactive users' group - esp if you use the auto-restore option).

Only members of a defined list of usergroups are checked for inactivity.

If a member of the inactive usergroup returns to the forum, and auto-restore is enabled, they are automatically restored to another defined usergroup (by default this is usergroup 2, Registered Users).

Note: The move of inactive users is done once per day as part of the daily update cron job.


History:

v3.8.001 : First Release for vB 3.8.

[RaceJunkie]

Great Idea

[valendono]

I am looking at "Scheduled Task Manager" to test "run now" but no option for Inactive users. Should I put manual ? I want to see how it run.

[Paul M]

You will not find anything in the Task Manager, as it says, it hooks into the standard vb Daily Update Job. Running that manually would probably not be a good idea.

[Skyrider]

Thanks! I'll try this out soonish! :D

[Sascha Henken]

Very well done Mr. Paul M. I?m using this since today and it?s doing its job just fine :)

I?ve created a new Usergroup called Inactive Users based upon Registered Users. As I have a League running, i?ll move members from the League Members group to Inactive Users after 60 days of absence. If they come back, they will be restored from Inactive Users to Registered Users again and it?s working very great Sir :)

I really appreciate all you small additions/addons you create Paul. All plugins work without any hassle and do what they should do.

Thank you :)

[Paul M]

Thank you :)

[digicom]

Thanks Paul Installed :up:

[buileminh]

What's the advantage of this mod?

[BlackJacket]

What's the advantage of this mod?

Does there need to be an Advantage?

Its more for (in my case anyway) keeping the board clean, organized.

[robbiefritz]

Very nice. Thanks.

[sandt38]

Is there a way to redefine "inactive"? For instance, I would like to demote my members that don't contribute, but they come on board and view or do things behind the scenes etc. I want to force them to contribute, or be allowed only to view a "limbo" forum or something. I have some people who have not posted in 2 months, but they show up a couple times a week... It is irritating.

[Tolas]

great mod, thanks Paul!
Any way to log the users this moves?

[Paul M]

No, there is no logging facility.

[BlackJacket]

this is not working for me.

I forgot i installed this like 2 weeks ago, lol. All my inactive people are going somewhere, but not to where i told them to go. Dont ask me where, im still trying to find out. N other group has increased in numbers.

[Paul M]

Did you set the destination usergroup in the options ?

[GateKeper]

I am thinking of using this, but one question, if it moves all the inactive users to a new group, and then I don't see a need for this hack and disable it or remove it for whatever reason, what happens to the users that were moved, where do they end up ?

Also does this affect member count, or will it retain the same count, regardless of the group they are in

never mind the second question, it counts all members, no matter what group they are in, until such a time, that they are deleted, if I am not mistaken...

Thanks

[Paul M]

if it moves all the inactive users to a new group, and then I don't see a need for this hack and disable it or remove it for whatever reason, what happens to the users that were moved, where do they end up ?
Nothing happens to them, they remain in the group they were moved to.

[Hostboard]

This is a great modification and huge tool to help monitor/track users.

Would you consider modifying it a bit so that when it scans UserGroups for inactivity based on X days that when/if they return they are restored back to their original group?

I have multiple groups I would like to scan but need them to be returned to their original group if and when they return. It seems by the way it is worded in the ACP that I can only have them return to 1 group.

Also would be a huge bonus if there was an option to create/save a predefined email and send it to the users that are in the inactive group. Then be able to track who received these emails so when emails are sent back out they are not resent to these members (do not want to spam them) or at least be able to define x amount of days before they receive another email.

Thanx

[Paul M]

While both are nice features, I really dont have the time to work on such things at the moment.

[Goomzee]

is this important to make another user group for this Mod

[scottny]

Installed.

One question. Does the time start from the time of installation or does it go back?

[Paul M]

It goes back.

[Gosef]

Good Jop

Thanks a lot

[scottny]

HMMMM,

Ok it only moved one for me. I will have to look closer at it I guess.

[Trek]

Paul, if/when you have some time to work on this, I'd like to see the following feature added if possible.

I'd like to be able to send an IM to a list of users with a list of all users that were moved. I'm using this to keep another list of members within a game in sync and this would help us keep track of things.

Anyway, excellent mod as always, thanks again.

[Tolas]

This thing save me a ton of work, thanks again Paul!

[scottny]

It is working perfectly now. Thanks for it, this is a great one.

[sandt38]

So how do they get out of the restore group? Do we use normal usergroup promotions?

[Paul M]

Please read the main post.

[Paul M]

Not unless you re-write the plugin.

[manutdvn]

Thanks Paul.

I have a question. How can I delete those users once they are moved to new group? We have over 20,000 member, but most of them do not online.

[Paul M]

Just use the mass user prune facility in the ACP.

[The4um]

a member of the inactive usergroup is automatically restored to another defined usergroup only if user returns or if user writes any post??

[Paul M]

If they return.

[FFTFTCEd]

I just installed your mod & now I cannot log into the AdminCP, I only get a redirect back to the log in screen over and over, what's the deal, I never even had to time to config the mod. How do I get back into the AdminCP or better yet, how do I uninstall/delete the xml file via FTP as I can't seem to find it in any of the folders on were vB is installed.

Very disappointed.

Ok, one of the other admins was able to get my account reset, not sure what happened, but as I was looking at the usergroup id's to config this mod, the AdminCP page changed to the login for CP & thought, well perhaps I timed out, but my account had been set to registered user & my password had been changed also. Not sure how all that ties into this mod, could be just a freak of nature, but I'm afraid to give it another go until you respond, sorry if I blamed the mod for something it didn't do, but it was the last thing I was doing when the lights went out.

[Paul M]

This mod has no ability to change passwords. Also, unless you edit the settings it has no effect on admins/mods. Sounds to me like someone demoted you.

[FFTFTCEd]

Rgr that, all is well now. I will give this mod another go later today, thanks for your response.

[hambil]

It appears that even though I set the usergroup id for returned users to 9 they still go into 2, the default registered group when they return.

[Paul M]

Thats impossible unless your options are somehow corrupt - they are restored to the usergroupid stored in the mod options (ixmrestoregroup).

[hambil]

I'll give it a closer look when I've had some sleep. For now I had to disable it and manually run some sql to move all users out of the Inactive users group.

As you know, I heavily mod my forum, so it could be on my end. I'll run it down and get back to you anyway.

I agree; this is the function I need as well. Way too many users are lurking - I already have spiders and bots that imitate users, I don't need users who imitate spiders and bots...

[Biggles]

Thank you, Paul

I've yet to install one of your mods that doesn't do precisely what it says on the label. First class work. Well done! :up:

[Teresa]

I'd really like the ability to add users from one or more usergroups who have POSTED in X days to a SECONDARY usergroup.

So, I want all super active members to be able to see a specific forum and not just the lurkers or old-time non-contributing members.

Any thoughts?

[masterweb]

Download and installed, i'll test it as a solution for spammy registered accounts with just a signature link but no post... Thanks dude!.

Does it matter? I do not feel that my board is unorganised just because some members are not active anymore. This mod has no use imo.

[Paul M]

Then why are you posting in it :rolleyes:

[relaxiha]

this is not working for me.
3.8.1

[Paul M]

Sorry, but you need to be more informative than just "not working".

[taras]

Hi, the product sounds geat, thank you!
Few questions:
1) I installed the product but can't find a record in the for the cron in the "Scheduled Task Manager".
2) No description is provided to the XML file on how to edit the variables.

Thank you

[Paul M]

1. This doesnt add a cron, it uses an exiting vb one
2. You dont edit anything in the XML file .....

[drupy]

Thank you, Paul!
This is a very useful mod!
Installed!

It works and I am using 3.8.1

[MiriamS]

Nice mod Paul. Like some others I would really like to move members to the inactive group if they haven't posted in f.i. 180 days, and then be automatically restored not when they enter the forum again, but when they post again. Is this possible?

[Paul M]

Sorry, that isnt possible atm.

[adousi]

Great
Thanks for your effort
From now on >>>>>>> no more chance for inactive moderator :D

[NetRover]

I'm still using the 3.7 version on a 3.8 vb and works fine.

To upgrade can I use the overwrite feature and keep mod settings or should I remove the old one first?

[Paul M]

Just install with overwrite.

[detalhe]

One question, if auto restore is off how can those users become active again? manually?

My question is because it would be great if they would be active again only after x posts.

[katan]

Thank you!

[el7yaah]

Thank you

[Smitty]

I have been using the 3.7 version and it appears to work OK *except* that it does not change their User Title back to 'Registered' when someone returns. It continues to say 'Inactive'.

[Matt Slick]

I installed the program two days ago. I could not figure out how to set the right group ID in Inactive Users. Sorry, couldn't find any directions but have since figured out how to set the right usergroup ID. I created an "Inactive Group" with ID number 24. Number 9 group did not exist on our boards and still doesn't. I don't know why.

So, the system ran and moved a TON of users inot the ADMIN account! Panic!

We can't remove them from the admin area unless we do it one at a time and we have about 30,000 users moved to the admin category. Bad! Apparently, there are default permissions for an administrator group that the system will not permit removing, such as viewing Admin panel.

Mass prune users is not permitted for Administrator group so we cannot move them all out of default admin group.

How do we get these people OUT of the default Admin group? Can't prune them.

We've had a few inactive users sign back in and they are NOT moved back to the registered users category.

This is a huge problem. My boards have 1.5 million posts. Am I going to have to start all over?

Please help.

[Paul M]

It can only move users to the group you set in the options, so you must have set it to your admin group.

You can force it to move them to a different group by editing the settings, and then manually running it.

Inactive members who sign back in will only get moved back if you have enabled that option, and they are currently in the group defined as the inactive group.

[Matt Slick]

We have it set to move users to #24 which is the Inactive Users group. But, it doesn't work. also, it hasn't reinstituted them to the original group once they sign in.

How do I force them to move? I mean, how do I manually run the "cron"?

I'd be willing to give you admin access to our boards so you could take a look. Sorry, but I'm lost on this thing and we really need it fixed... can you help?

[Paul M]

Send me a PM with access details.

[Smitty]

I have been using the 3.7 version and it appears to work OK *except* that it does not change their User Title back to 'Registered' when someone returns. It continues to say 'Inactive'. Bump. I did just update (overwrite) to the 3.8 version.

[gcgMurphy]

Some people are saying that this mod is of no use. They couldn’t be more wrong. For instance, if a user registered just so he could fill out a profile with a link to his site this mod can automatically move him into a usergroup that doesn’t show on the memberlist thereby not letting him use your site just to promote his. So either he will at least have to visit your site occasionally or he will lose his link.

I’m sure there are many more uses but other than housekeeping, this is what I use it for.

Thanks Paul.

[Dulce]

PM me if you can do something similar with posting in a certain time limit, and what your rates would be.

[aztecboi2003]

I was using this mod and it works very well. But I installed this mod here https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=213166 and it made all the Inactive members appear on the staff page.

[Dollarsign]

Would it be a good idea to install this, and once 100 / 200 of your members go unactive, then e-mail or pm that entire usergroup to bring them back to the forum?

Or is that considered spam?

I was wondering how I can get older unactive members back to the forum and this looks like a good idea?

[Paul M]

You could do that (and Im pretty sure people do).

Bear in mind you will prob get alot of bounces due to old (invalid) email addresses.

[OldDude]

My site has several Usergroups (120+) because the forum is used as a private support site for individual customers.

Aside from the pain of entering 100 or so numbers separated by commas, I was wondering if I'll need to update the search Usergroups every time I add a new Usergroup?

Does this plugin scan "secondary" usergroups? If so, then I could create a "common" secondary user group (e.g. "customer") to scan and not have to worry about updating the search usergroup.

I'm not worried about the "restore" feature.

[Paul M]

No, it only checks the primary usergroup.

[OldDude]

OK... I've entered all the individual usergroups and specified the custom "inactive" group I want them moved to. On the first day, it appeared that the MOD added 9 users to the inactive group. However, if I manually search the groups I have another 50 users that should qualify. No additional members have moved since that first day.

Are there some other requirements that I need to make (e.g. does the server need to be restarted), or are there limitations as to how many usergroups it will scan?

Make sure the cron job for it runs. If I remember right, it should be added to the vB Daily task. I could be wrong, but make sure it's been run regardless of where it's located. I use this mod and it's been working great for a couple of months.

Thanks for the feedback.... I think I may have another issue causing problems.

By manually running the Daily Cleanup task, I saw the number of Inactive Users change the way I would expect. However, when I looked at my Scheduled tasks I noticed that several of the "Next Times" are dates of June 1-3 (along with one "Yesterday").

Manually launching some of the other tasks (Daily Statistics Log) updated the Next Time correctly to use tomorrow's date. Others tho' (Hourly Cleanup, User Promotions and Weekly Digest) still have the older dates in "Next Time" even though the tasks completed OK.

I suspect that the reason I didn't see any change is because my cron job is not getting launched "Daily" as expected. Any ideas?

[Netz]

Hi.

I had problems: My Apache Server was breaking down while running the installation. After I updatet my Apache, PHP and MySQL version (I'm using Apaxx) it is running fine.

btw: It would be helpful to write someware that the config is done under ACP->vB Settings -> Inactive users.

Tanks a lot for your wonderful work!

[HastleGames]

I need to delete inactive users
How can I modify to make this change?

I know the Prune option, but I need to do it automatically

Thanks for the help

[Paul M]

Sorry, you cannot do that with this modification, nor is their any simple way to change it.

[RobbieZ]

Thanks Paul - Will check this out.

[Nickbe]

If a user is moved to my 'inactive users' usergroup will their secondary usergroups remain intact? If they're then restored will their secondary usergroup remain intact?

[Paul M]

Secondary usersgroups are unaffected by this.

[Nickbe]

Perfect, thanks Paul!

[jl255]

i suppose i can deactivate the daily cron through the scheduled tasks menu right? or i can change the frequency, right?

[Paul M]

You could ........ but that would be a very bad idea, since it is the vbulletin daily cron, not specific to this modification. You will probably break something and/or have some unwanted side effects.

[high6]

Thanks, just what I was looking for. Question though, does inactive mean not visiting the site or not posting? Would be very nice to have the option to move them if they haven't posted in x days.

[Paul M]

As it says ;

If a member has not visited the forum for a defined number of days ....

:)

[GetWebHost]

Thanks for the mod. Works perfect.

[RedHacker]

Paul M when gone the users in InActive Usergroup and login this user to the site automatic gone in the First UserGroup or wait little for gone....?

[Paul M]

Erm... Sorry, Im not sure what your asking.

[RedHacker]

etg One user gone in InActive Member when login in statistics online member show inactive usergroup....?

[voglermc]

Well my users moved somewhere but I cant tell where. When I created a new usergroup it was #10 so I then installed the plugin and set it to 10 and 365 days. No other changes. Then I set the days to 9999999 and they did not return even after waiting 30 minutes. How do I get them back? Disable the plug-in?

[Paul M]

etg One user gone in InActive Member when login in statistics online member show inactive usergroup....?
Online statistics ? There are no (default) online stats that show user groups. Im still not really sure what your question is.

[RedHacker]

In the connect users the members usergroup are inactive usergroup..? I said for the users to gone inactive....

[Paul M]

Sorry, but you need to find someone who speaks english to translate for you. Im guessing you are using an online translator, and its not making any sense.

[voglermc]

Can you answer my question?

[RedHacker]

Sorry, but you need to find someone who speaks english to translate for you. Im guessing you are using an online translator, and its not making any sense.

If the users are in the category of user InActive and make login in Site then in who category they will appear?.? Does the change become immediately??

[Paul M]

If the users are in the category of user InActive and make login in Site then in who category they will appear?.? Does the change become immediately??
If you have the restore option set then yes, they are immediately moved back to the restore group.

Can you answer my question?

They have moved to whatever usergroup you set. Disabling the plugin will not change anything if they have already moved.

[RedHacker]

If you have the restore option set then yes, they are immediately moved back to the restore group.

Good would be InActive Users they go to the team of user that we will no immediately select from Restore but they pass somebody thinly?.

[swiper the fox]

Installed this a long time ago.

Just recently uninstalled it as it ws too time consuming to restore inactive people

When i originally installed it, i was moving people to the COPPA/Moderated Users group

When I check this usergroup, it shows no one is in this group, but I am still receiving emails indicating they are banned, and when I check , they are in this group whch is I assume where they were put after the original 200 days they were inactive.

Why are they not showing in this group , and if they aren't moved there after this time frame, and are only moved once they log in, and the product is removed, why are they being moved there ?

thankz

[Paul M]

Ive read this three times and Im still not sure what your saying.

I am curious though, why are you restoring members manually, when there is an option to restore them automatically if they login (and just how many members return after more than 180 days to make that such an issue) Ive been using this for 4 years and never manually restored anyone.

[Trek]

Paul,

I've created a mod based on yours (extends yours) and would like permission to post it here?

Basically it's your mod with the functionality of posting threads with the names of the members that went inactive, etc. I call it Inactive Members Plus. Anyway, please let me know if it's ok or not as I do use your existing code (although I've gone through and renamed things for consistency within my module and such).

[Paul M]

As long as you credit me in the code, and the thread, then its fine by me.

[Trek]

No worries, thanks much!

[phai]

Thanks, have been looking for something like this. :)

[Hi-Jack]

If we can add multiple groups for checking users, will they be restored to the original group they came from? I don't see any comma delimited options in the restore features... Using with multiple user groups is thus not as flexible as I would have liked it... or ma I wrong and does it restore the the member to the group it came from?

[Paul M]

There is only one restore group.

[MentaL]

I would use this if it could allow original usergroup restore.. sadly i got 10 + groups and i need the users to return to the correct one.

[SᴩiDᴇЯ]

Nice job Paul thank you.

[choccyclaire]

Is there any way to reverse this mod, by moving ACTIVE users to another usergroup. I cannot find any addons for promoting active users anywhere.

[Paul M]

vBulletin already has a built in promotions system which may do what you want.

[choccyclaire]

This is what I thought, but unfortunately the default promotions will only go by either join date, post count or rep.

Thanks anyways.

[mattysheff]

Will you be updating this for vb4

[Paul M]

At some point.

[runwtdevil]

When I installed this, does go into affect right away? Or "X" amount of days that the cutoff point is set at?

Great mod by the way!

[Paul M]

It will work straight away (ie the first time it runs).

[Peter_AUS]

Would be nice if there was an email system that could be used to send out to the members advising them of the fact that they have been moved to inactive group, as a reminder to them. The email could be then modified for each person using the mod to text it the way the want it to read, with advice to please respond to the email if they have had troubles logging in, recovering password, no longer want to remain a member. This way we can as administrators, work on those members that are having issues we might not know about. Also we would be notified of undeliverable emails as well, and cull off those members. Is this possible to be done, would enhance this mod very well that way and I am sure that many that use it, would agree with this as an added feature.

[thompson]

is it possible to do this for inactive moderators ?

ex.: if a moderator is inactive for more than x days, than move him to registered users. if he cames back and will have his job back, the admin can move him back to moderators group (and all permissions are back) ?

thanks. sorry for school english

[Paul M]

You can set which usergroups it affects, so you could configure it for only mod usergroups.

[TomTMSHDM]

Optinal emails would be perfect... Due to my needs this is missing.

How should the users know about there move - without an email?

Greets,
Tom

[AkBilge]

Have 11500th member. Currently 1200 members left. What should I do to bring back. I'm sorry I do not speak English. I'm trying to explain with pictures.


How do I get members back? Picture 3

(Türkçe bilenler yardım edermisiniz ?)

[Peter_AUS]

Make sure that you put the group number in the field to move people back to that group once they log in again. It will move them back to the group you define again the 2 in there is shown for reference only, as we all have different groups, the one you want to move them back to may be different, mine certainly is different.

[rizelim]

@ Paul M non-active members again, how can we do deactivated.

[Paul M]

I dont understand your question.

[rizelim]

want to revert inactive users to new usergroup.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=112759&d=1266795355

[Paul M]

I cannot tell you what values to put in there, its dependant on your forum. Each one explains what it is, you have to decide on the actual values.

[Peter_AUS]

Look in Groups and have a look for the number of the group you want to move them back to. Then change the 2 to the number of the group that is relevant to your system setup. Mine for instance is group 9, I have replaced group 2 with 9.

Thank you. But I did a little research. Ultimately a member of management> delete members - registration is a section in the picture looks as if I've managed to transfer the 11500th member back

[Peter_AUS]

Sorry but I don't understand the language in the pictures.

[Kyojii]

a nice update feature would be an option to send a PM to those that are moved to inactive.

Also, another nice addition would allow you to set the time value per usergroup rather than select the usergroups per value. In this way you can set multiple usergroups at different removal intervals.

nice hack.

[krimesis]

Posted in 3.8.5 from 10.00 still did nothing!

[Paul M]

Posted in 3.8.5 from 10.00 still did nothing!
I have no idea what this means.

[Peter_AUS]

I didn't understand it either. But would it be possible to have an email set-up to advise the member when they are moved to inactive group that this has happened, something that we can edit (email that is) to include information that we would like to include personally. Like explain why they have been moved, if they are having login issues contact admin, etc ? That would be a think a great improvement to this very good plugin. The email would be sent out after the daily check for inactive members meeting the criteria to be moved to the inactive group.

I have no idea what this means.
The work of the plugin how long I can see, that when I pass the inactive user group created?

Sorry, but adding an e-mail option would mean a lot of changes to the way it works. I have no plans to do this. If you want to e-mail people in the new groups you can use the ACP user e-mail option every so often. By definition these are not regular users so they dont need an instant e-mail.

Im afraid I still dont understand the question, I think maybe you need someone who speaks english to translate for you before you post.

I have istall your product but in 24 hours no customer has not moved who had not been connected from 180 days.

[Paul M]

If its run, then you dont have anyone who matches your settings.

It is not difficult to setting the product? by now are been annoying? but on 3.8.5 it does not work! :(

[krimesis]

In this moment i have 72 users who are not connected by 90 days and the product does not work!

[BillieJoe]

Is there any chance of a modification to set a number of posts a user must have within the defined number of days?

For example, a user must have 10 post within the past 60 days otherwise he will set to the defined usergroup.

[krimesis]

Sorry, I do not work on 3.8.5 just passed hand 72 users who are not logged by 90 days.
:(

[krimesis]

Perhaps I have understood because the product did not work, I had a group that I had to remove and that is the users to 0 post! , now it has passed the users inactive.

I need to upgrade to vB4 and I want to disable all of my mods(including this one) and add them back slowly. If I deleted this mod, what happens to all of my members in the inactive usergroup? If I simply deleted the inactive usergroup, would those members be deleted as well?

I'm just figuring out the easiest way to get those members back to the "registered" usergroup.

Thanks.

[Paul M]

There is no need to do anything other than install the 4.0 version after you have upgraded - it will remove the 3.8 version itself.

[SEW810]

Installed and waiting for results... (hope it works with vb 3.8.5)

[imedic]

I have installed also in 3.8.5 and wait for a result.
I did not see any cron jobs related to this mod. Hope it works in other way...

[NoNickeD]

Great Idea mate! Thank you.

That would be the note in the main post ;)

Note: The move of inactive users is done once per day as part of the daily update cron job.

Works like a charm in 3.8.5 Keep up the good work :D .
I just wonder I have some users in a group with payed access. If some of them goes to inactive group they will remain in payed group?
(mention, they are not moved in payed group, they are in same time members of registered group and payed group)

Unfortunately I cant test this (or I don't know for the moment how).

[Paul M]

This only affects primary usergroup. If they are members of the paid group as a secondary group then they will be fine, if its their primary group then they will be removed.

[imedic]

Great!
Many thanks Paul :)

[Calystos]

Anyone know if theres anything like this that can auto-prune the ancient users from the database?

I saw that really old auto-prune inactive members addon but its in the graveyard now, :(

So anyway of adding an option that can auto-prune old members to this inactive usergroup addon as it sounds really useful.

Great mod and thank you so much!

[weindians]

will it update the particular "inactive group's" user title image[if defined] on moving to inactive group and on restore the restored group's too...??? or has to do it manually.....

[Panzer Max]

Hey Paul, nice idea. I've got a usergroup called Limbo for members who have not posted, I have been manually putting them in this usergroup. Once in Limbo, their posts go into moderation. After two posts, they are promoted to Registered Users. Will your mod automatically place people into Limbo based solely on # of days, regardless of how many posts they've made? How hard would it be to add in # of days AND < 1 post?

thanks, man.

[Paul M]

Yes, this does not take into account number of posts. You would need to edit the SQL.

[Panzer Max]

Wait, you mean "I" have to do that? :) Uh oh....

Hi paul i had initially installed this plugin in vb 3.7 and then upgraded my forums to 3.8.5 around 6 months back but i forgot to upgrade this plugin.

I recently noticed something odd this that the user count shown at the forum homepage is significantly different from the ones in user groups .

30k vs 3k

I checked the setting of this plugin n found an issue the "Inactive Usergroup" has been set to 9 but there is not usergroup 9 ( may be i deleted it or some thing happened while upgrading ) could this has caused these 27 k members to be deleted :/

I have also attached the screen shots, could you please help me what to do now.

Would really appreciate any kind of suggestion or help for this mess that i have created

[Paul M]

They are not deleted, you just cant see them in the usergroup manager.

What usergroup do you want them to be in ?

[OregonGreenFree]

I find this mod to be extremely useful. Thanks.

[kamcreation]

Thanks Paul for ur assurance that they are not deleted. *Sigh of relief*

How do i got them back in usergroupmanager

I want them to be transfered to the newly created usergroup 18 how can i do that?

[Paul M]

Change the Inactive group to 18, and add usergroup 9 to the list of checked groups.

Next time it runs it should pick up all the users in the invalid group 9, and move them to 18.

[sverdios]

any chance to delete all inactive users, extreme inactive 6 or more months? xD and any chance to put the user with 0 post or 0 thanks, only spy my forum ¬¬

I too am wondering about how to get my user titles updated & accurate, since I can't find a way to run the Update User Titles and Ranks function in AdminCP automatically. :confused:
