thanks, installed.. :)

Great mod thanks :up:

One small issue with the timing of the post creation and Daylight Saving Time, in that I'm finding the new thread post is an hour late.

When I check the forum time, it is correctly displayed, i.e it's currently showing correctly as 00:15 which is British Summer Time. Indeed the time display on the bottom of the server is showing as GMT +1, i.e. Daylight Saving Time.

It seems however, that despite the forum time being correct, the thread is being posted on GMT rather than BST :confused:

go into your vb options for this mod and adjust the time, then, as there is a setting for this.

I have adjusted the time, currently set to default, i.e. the time of the forum which would be correct.

It's weird. One thread was created at forum time of 01:05. The next thread got created at 00:38 :confused:

Thanks !

the only other thing i could think to check is when your cron jobs are set to run, and how many other ones are scheduled to go at the same time as this one...is it possible that it's being delayed by email batches or something that other scheduled jobs are doing? for me, a difference of a few minutes here or there either way is perfectly acceptable, but if it concerns you, that's where i would look.

well, the thing i noticed is that i have my active user cutoff date set to a year and it can make it feel a little weird. (with my forum, people sometimes come back after long periods of absence, just the nature of it.)

so sometimes, we'll have a birthday thread for more than one user, one is very active and one is not. and it just feels off to post a personal message in the thread to one but not the other birthday person. but if the inactive user hasn't been there for 6 months, 9 months, or seldom posts, they simply won't get the same responses as someone who is active. that's certainly reasonable, but if they are mentioned IN the thread, it does tend to stand out if they do come around.

that is part of the reason i installed this mod to begin with. with people creating the birthday threads, it was usually only for the more active users, but some folks got missed even if they were around. i thought it might help allieviate hurt feelings, and i did notice some folks really seem to like the threads a lot and appreciate theirs.

No cron jobs here.

Thread will be created first time when someone loads forumhome after midnight. So it can be 00:00, or 01:00, or any other time during the day when forums are active.

ohhhh. so it's most likely a function of visitors then. gotcha. missed that and hadn't looked at the code. to me, doesn't matter much the exact time so i never looked for it.

Hi,
installed your mod and enabled, but no thread is created even if there have been birthdays in the past 2 days... What could it be the reason?
