These are all old UBB threads that were coverted to vB forumat in version 1.12...

OH you didn't mention that! :) That I have a fix for...somewhere around here...umm let me find it.

*runs off to find it*

*runs back*

OK I got it. This is not my script being wrong. :D It is the way vB imports/imported UBB threads. So here's the deal: rename this to fixubbdate.php, upload it to your admin directory, [important step] backup your database [/important step] and then run it by going to it in a browser.

That should fix your dates and make it so the script selects them correctly. The basic idea of why it doesn't work is the old import script gave the threads dates 30+ years in the future...which means when selected by date those come first. :)

[edit]Upon further inspection I realized that Joe, not Dave, posted the second message. so the "oh you didn't mention that" doesn't apply but I can only assume that Dave's was imported too...(at least I can hope - then it means there's nothing wrong with my script :D).[/edit]

Kevin - Yes mine is a UBB import too-

Off to test the script

oops

*doh* I thought I fixed that last time I posted this script...anyway replace line 15 (which is currently
withsorry :(

Hi I installed this script with no problem and I did with the welcome message script. However although it says messages sent to user@domain.com and no error messages appear it does not actually send the email when i test it.

Pleae help!

I don't think it is a problem with this script but something to do with the server or database is this possible.

Cheers,
Nick

With my 2.0.1 works great ! Thx.

bye

Nice! The fix ubbdate work great, i can new use the hack! :) In the future, i would like to see a "set preferences" section, where we can set what we sent out, so we dont have to configure the email each time, also if it sent every thing out by itself (cron?) that would be dandy... :) Good job.

Just installed into version 2.0.1 took about 15 minutes was very easy . Worked without any errors. I have been using a mailing list from mailman and this is alot easier and better. Will this also send data from a locked forum? I hope so that way I can use the locked forum to write messages to members and than lock it back just for me to update on a weekly basis.
