Hey guys,
I was wondering, is it normal for the $cronimage to output the full url to the cron.php file? I can't remember on my previous sites, because I never checked it out. But when I check other sites, there's no link to the "cron.php" in their source.

<img src="http://forumlink.tld/cron.php?rand=1304011275" alt="" width="1" height="1" border="0" />

I'm using vB 3.8.4.

Thanks,

That's what it should look like.

Looking at the code it seems it should only be there if it's time for the next cron job to run (which I'm sure is why you don't see it on other sites), but I noticed on my test site that it always seems to be there. I have no idea why.

ETA: ...or I should say yes, it should have the full path to cron.php. I don't know if http://forumlink.tld/ is right for your site. It uses the value of $vbulletin->options['bburl'] which is set in the options.

You're welcome, but something else occured to me which I just posted above. It should have a path but that doesn't necessarily mean it's the right path for you. When I try to go to http://forumlink.tld/ I get a blank page.

I replaced the link of my forum with the domain extension that doesn't exist, because someone might post "you're advertising your site", lol.
