Yep they are all working bar this one:confused:

I have no idea. The only time I've seen something like this was when a server upgrade didn't complete properly and all my PHP pages were displaying as text files until I fixed it.

someone please help me with my emails not sending. It just keeps saying there are no emails to be sent.

Maybe there aren't any emails to be sent?

Version 1.09? 1.11? If the latter, uninstall and reinstall 1.09.

Setting in vBulletin options | Inactive Users Reminder emails?

Just wanted to say that this is one of the best mods EVER. It in addition to the Welcome Header mod, I've had a ton of people come back and start posting again.

Hi,

I have Vbulletin 3.6.9 & I installed Email Reminder 1.1.1.

I am in the process of setting it up & had a few questions.

1. If I want to add a specific web link, do I just pop it into the message section or do I need to do something special to make it a clickable hyperlink (same as the $homeurl)?

2. Show footer link? - Does this add a link to the main part of the forum giving credit to djbaxter?

3. Add credit to emails sent? - Does this add a credit within the "we miss you" email?

4. I set (for testing) usergroup 3 (admin's), set the script active, then went to Scheduled Task / Scheduled Task Manager & manually ran it (to see). Then I went to Scheduled task log & it says:

Code:

Emails sent to:runnerout budda10r gamblingstats Amateur_plf supervideosmen zx10rgeo kuleshkovital Saxgrgns empaphnew sexyass olleloockoerrss Regespinlen buyviagramen LSMITH5791 tenacious z PERMARDIMBUPEd cheque7697 drugimpotence ChedeSach Aideptike Nadin Maison ShallbetNat KentBrooktl infiptoutsous jojonik GoldAmyFell Abarricosta Adillaida Tfyhdwrt SRASADAN Chickflick PERMARDIMBUPEj Blackjacktrinid inhisresy Abarricoss boiliorse. We tried to email the following users, but their email address was invalid:

The list is much longer & I cut a ton of names out. Why did it send out all those emails if the usergroup 3 was the only one selected?

5. I set the Days of Inactivity to 14 & the Frequency to 100 (3 emails per year). Will that only send 3 emails per year?

6. This might be unrelated but... I did get a test message from one of my non admin accounts (an inactive one of mine). The message came from: Kawasaki ZX-10R.net ["Kawasaki ZX-10R.net"@123485-app2.xxxxxxx.com] (I removed some of it). Why does it look so funky (the email return address)?

7. I got an email from my site saying: This email shows that the product is installed and working as it should be. There were no inactive users at this time.. The strange thing is I did get an email (to a non admin test account). How can I tell if it sent emails or didnt?

Thanks,
Rich

I recommend you uninstall this and install version 1.09. 1.11 is buggy.

You can use standard HTML as well as vBulletin variables. My personalized message looks like this:

2. Show footer link? - Does this add a link to the main part of the forum giving credit to djbaxter?

No, to Chris (he wrote the add-on, I just help out with support), or more specifically it adds

Code:

Inactive Reminders By Mished.co.uk

3. Add credit to emails sent? - Does this add a credit within the "we miss you" email?

It adds the link to Mished.co.uk to the bottom of the email instead of to the forum footer.

I'm not sure. As I said, version 1.11 is buggy.

Your settings mean that after 2 weeks of no activity, an email will be sent out and that this will be repeated every 100 days for that member.

The return address is the one you've set for your forum. Anything else is a server issue.

7. I got an email from my site saying: This email shows that the product is installed and working as it should be. There were no inactive users at this time.. The strange thing is I did get an email (to a non admin test account). How can I tell if it sent emails or didnt?

You can check the cron (scheduled task) log for this add-on.

The weird thing is I got a second one saying it sent out everything to the usergroup (#3) which is not my admin (like i thought) but it is actually my users awaiting confirmation (why it sent out all those things).

Thanks,
Rich

My other issues are resolved. Any ideas why this keeps sending out that funky email address? The other Vbulletin items (password reset, registration, etc) do not have that email. Only the reminder software.

Would the older version fix that? If so, how do I uninstall 1.1.1?

Thanks,
Rich
