Hello i was wonder if there is a way to private message members that have expired subscriptions to offer them a special deal with out having to message them one by one on the forum?

Thank

Read the thread, but I do not have any suggestions. You might want to post this in the paid/unpaid requests forums if you really desire it.

he's talking about paid subscriptions. There must be a way to access the info he is looking for as the user info page shows pas subscriptions:

Thanks @joeychgo, I did know what he was referring too, but I never mind the clarification. Maybe I was too terse in my answer and it came off abrasive. Sorry, if that is what you thought. I only have a few minutes here and there to answer questions and some of them I have to cut short due to life. :) We are all friends here, or definitely should be! Thanks bud.

There is always a way, but again it would require custom programming. The question was not asked in a programming forum, so I did not go into depth.

I would be happy to point out where I might go about doing this in the code, if requested. :)

Oops, I see where I went wrong @joeychgo. He was referring to subscriptions with private messages not email (LOL). I will revise the initial post. I only replied to the post in the first place to let him know that his post was read -- since he bumped it. I did a search for modifications or code snippets and came up with nothing really useful.

Yeah, I think what he's looking for is a way to contact those who's paid subscriptions have expired so he can offer them a deal to re-subscribe. Im guessing he wants to do this in a batch so he needs a script to go through the database, select those with expired subscriptions, and send them a PM making the offer.

He may not have posted in the best forum, but its a decent idea I think

I think it is a must if I ran a large subscription board. :)

I have learned not to waste my time and/or the posters time giving programming assistance, when it is not a programming question and vice-versa. I take my guidelines in answering the scope of a question or assisting someone from what forum it is posted in.
