Thanks for the upload sabret00the.....

Will there ever be an update so that it will be able to be put on a schedule?

For some reason I am not getting any formatting like my forum, it's all white (see gif). I did change it to be able to use my css as a file thinking that was it, but it wasn't... see sig for site layout

Thanks

will do :)

you can't use css as files as it doesn't realise that it should download the file, for that you'd have to put in a large enough image for your email client to ask if it can download the file, the short version is that you'd be better off using css normally.

i had an idea of making it check how you're using css switching it then switching it back after use but i forgot, the hack author will probably do this though.

regarding sending it as a scheduled task, i've not looked into it although it's an idea, it would also require stripping all of the settings half of the hack.

Ok... I think that this would be a core feature of this hack, I just wonder why it hadn't been thought of from the get-go

simply because it's a newsletter so they expect you to put in information, rather than a subscription which is already available

oops forgot to say i tried to consolidate some of the space, i'm thinking of adding a right column that will hold a features member, featured forum and then below you could add add-on's like latest arcade score, latest quiz, latest journal entry, and ofcourse latest photo (from your gallery) good idea? bad idea?

does the hack author wanna save me the effort and do it instead :lol:

I think that is a great idea. I have just install the journal hack and think it would be a good addition to the news letter. On my site (4xtraders.com/forum) I have added a left and right column to my whole site (use header and footer), could there be a way that this could be included in the html email of your commbull.php that you created. I looked around yours and was getting lost as to where/how I could do this.

Just wondering, could it be possible to pull whats send in the emails to my www.site.com/index.php? I would to have some of these items on my main page. I have created a vb powered page but have no clue how to pull those items into it..... just an idea

Thanks

PS.... HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!!!!!!

I changed my ISP, and commbull started timing out for me during the mailing. I have users-at-once set to 300 users at a time, as I did before.

I noticed that sometimes scripts time out after 30 seconds. It looks like there is a php setting you can make to allow scripts to run longer than 30 seconds - up to 900 seconds, for example.
Maybe adding that in near the top would help? I tried it in online.php for example, which sometimes times out on me and I didn't get any errors.

I have just sent my newsletter this month, so I can't test this but if someone who's having timeout problems wants to give it a try... Please let me know if it helps.

yeah it would be easy to port the code over :)

i would recommend that you set it to 100 users max (at a time) in all honesty.

100 would be fine if there were an autorefresh capability. I have about 4000 users and better things to do ;)

I did hear back from the ISP:
