You're very welcome. ;)

I'm having the "member shows up repeatedly 2/3 times" problem and have applied mheinemann and boofo's update to this. But will this limit the number of times a member can be chosen ina specific set of time?

For instance, I do not want the same member of the day more than one time every XX days (thirty, preferably), but I do not want the member's activity level to be a qualifying factor. For ever member of the day who catches themself as the "motd", I will give them a free Sunday Brunch to our restaurant. This is why I don't want the same member showing up but once a month, basically.

I've read through the thread and haven't found a solution for this. Any takers?

Ok, try this:

Thanks, Boofo.
I'm not sure if it works (as it's hard to test, obviously), but I have faith in your code and it gives me no errors. :)

This makes it so that a member can only be MOTD once every 30 days, regardless of activity and such.

Thanks again!

Keep an eye on it a couple of days and let me know how it goes. I changed it on my site and will also keep an eye on it, although I don't have very many members. It should work fine, though. ;)

It goes by the last site visit so activity should have nothing to do with it.

*hehe* Aye aye! I'll keep an eye on it. I don't have many members, either. In all usergroups, I have approximately 125 members and I've limited the "MOTD" to only two usergroups (approximately 106 so far) - so I'm quite small as well. :D

I mainly use my site for installing and playing with hacks. Kind of a learning center, I guess. I have about 25 users and most of them only show up once in a while. ;)

Ummm, yeah. Boofo? The fix we tried comes up with a great big ol' db error when resetting. :) Try again? Or is it the "rand now" fix I tried? :S

Sorry about that. That isn't going to work. I got the same error. I will dig into the code a little more and get a fix for you shortly. ;)
