ok my bad, set the threadBOT hour limit to 24.

and make sure that the cron job is set to run in hours rather than minutes.

Clicked install :)
One small confusing element .. in admincp "threadBOT Feeding Permissions" . "Please enter the forumid of a forum where only people you want to be able to feed the threadBOT have permission to view and post."

When using feed_threadBOT.php, the drop down list provides a list of category's into which post will be added by the cron. Do we need to add all the category ID's for all the forums we want posts to be allowed in the admincp?

nope you just gotta put in a forum with the permissions of the posters you want to be able to feed the threadBOT.

i think i explained it a bit better here https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....1&postcount=27

Okay, I put about 7 sample questions in through feed_threadBOT.php for the same forum, and when the cron time came, it posted all of the questions I had entered, instead of selecting just one randomly.

ok finally had time to play with this, it was me being a dummy.

regarding the cron set the hour you want it to run and set the minute to 0 or it will run continuously, sorry i should've checked that before hand.

Okay I did that, then I tried clicking the 'run now' button in scheduled tasks, and got this error:

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.7:

feed_threadBOT.php??? I installed, but I can not find this file anywhere. Where is it?

I'm getting the same error !?

kevin, feedthreadBOT.php should be in www.yoururl.com/forum/feedthreadBOT.php

are you sure you have any threads left in your thread_bank?
