Ok I found the problem.

If you have photopost installed DO NOT include this part into your global.php
http://www.photopost.com/members/for...ght=stylesheet

Guys, don't mess with your forum stylesheets for the commbull html mail. Leave your current storage alone system for your forum. (uness you want to change it for your forum itself). As for the commbull email html calling for a stylesheet, you make a copy of your default stylesheet, rename it (something like - vb.css, as I did), place it in a different folder outside of your forum's directory ( I out it in a folder in my site root, also did the same for my forums' logo), and then in the html preview section of the commbull.php file, type in the full url path to these two files.:
example:
http://yoursite.com/bulletincssfolder/vb.css
http://yoursite.com/bulletincssfolder/logo.gif
Around line 318:
Once you have established your site sytlesheet enough, you shouldn't have to make too many changes to this commbull email html sheet. Even if you do, just recopy your new forum sheet, naming it as the vb.css, and replace the old vb.css one.
I played enough with this stylesheet and logo thing, and I found this to be the easiest answer. You have to remember, the user is calling for the stylesheet and logo from their email client, not directly from your site.

where does it say that? it is hardcoded though and not automatically.

i've got zachery's version of that installed, hence why i could use css at files even for this.

you shouldn't even need to do that, if you're storing css as files and have a large enough image, then your email client will download the stylesheet (with the help of zachery's hack) automatically, else it will use it as part of the page generation at which rate you get it anyway.

Its in the commbull phrases file but I don't see a sheduled task or something like this which will run the commbull really once a week.

Editing the html email in the commbull.php file.
In the commbull.php file look for (line numbers are approx.):

Try to keep the html email simple and as small (file size) as possible. Users get pissed (as I do) with over sized html emails. Mine is only about 15 kb's
I didn't mess around with the poll sections. I only have three on my forum, and thay don't update much. But if you want to edit the html for these, or any part of the html, just look in the commbull.php file for any <table>, <tr>, <td> start tags.
Basically, the html output is a bunch of table structures, but they are spread out in the commbull.php file. I'm going to experiment with making a commbull html email template with the variables in it, and just have the commbull.php script call it up. Language changes are easy, just go to the commbull_phrase.php file (thinking of switching that over to phrase variables too!)
As always, MAKE and save a copy of the file prior to editing. Make your changes a little at a time, then send the bulletin to yourself (admin) and take a look. I must have sent myself at least twenty before I was satisfied.

Here's my how my final edit html email bulletin looks like:

Haven't seen zachery's hack. What does it do?
I didn't feel like muking around with other files. This works quite nicely. I do have my froum css's stored as in file (s). My image is small too.

thanks man, great to have this back on the vb3 board

I have this hack installed and it has been working but now whenever I send something it thinks for a minute then brings up a page saying "The page cannot be displayed" . Any ideas on what is going wrong?
