Any updates on this ?

From what you describe, there is something in your vB setup that is causing vB to be confused into thinking that the 'user' that clicked the submit button is different from the 'user' to which vB is being instructed to send the results. That's a no-no and a no-go.

vB thinks that it is being told to send the results of your action to a different user than the one that initiated the action.

That could be:

Because you're logged on in another browser (window) as a different user and vB is getting confused,

OR: you have cookies turned off or blocked by a firewall somewhere in your network,

OR: maybe you have cookies disabled and you have a multi-homed IP configuration so that vB sees two or more different IP addresses for your session[s],

OR: some other bit of unusual configuration in your setup -- repeat emphatically, your particular setup.

The content of the error message you are receiving combined with the fact that [apparently] no one else is getting this problem seems to point to it being a configuration &/or routing issue someplace inside your system.

Good luck! Please post if you figure it out so that others who run into it will be helped.

almost?

if a user selects in their usercp to not receive emails from admins will they still get this recurring inactive email? or is there a way for them to "unsubscribe" and not receive it any more? if not this turns into spam and the only way to stop it is delete their account, not good.

So, are people having problems with the new versions? I am confused lol. I am still on version 1.1.1 lol - a little scared to update considering people are saying they are having problems. Thanks for the help.

anyone have this working in 3.8?

I'd also like to see if this is working in 3.8

This is working in VB 3.8. I had it installed on 3.7 and updated my forum to 3.8. But it will not install on a 3.8 forum.

But, the script sends out a random number of emails instead of just one a day. One day a dozen reminder emails might get sent out, the next day 5, the next day 1.

What is causing the script to send out more then one reminder email daily? The script is set to run once a day at noon. It runs, but sends out a random number of email reminders. Some of my members have sent me messages asking why they got 6 emails of the exact same thing within seconds of each other.

yeah that's my problem too, members are sending me mails that they get tired from the mass mails of reminders that they receive form the board. it is set to sent out 1 mail and then another one after that but sometimes people got 15 mails a day........... :confused:

I have this working on 3.8.0 and seems to be OK, I mean it's not sending out several reminders to the same person everyday. I set up a few test users just to monitor this issue reported here and seems to be OK.

Anyway, I've been using this since 3.7.1 and after upgraded to 3.8.0 still works the same way. I honestly don't know how would be its behavior in a fresh start on 3.8

Just one thing about, I've never set up anything about bounced e-mails, gave up on this since the beginning.
