Maybe even just email all inactive users once, and that's it. If they don't want to come back after that, I'd rather not remind them again. Should I use 360 in the amount column?

Mine are as follows (using version 1.09):

Days of Inactivity = 90
How many days a user can go without posting before they are considered inactive.

Email Frequency = 30
How often to send a reminder email once a member has become inactive.

Email Quantity = 10
How many emails to send each time cron runs (Lower means faster board, but longer to send all emails. Higher, vice versa.)

The reason that it is putting that email address is because that is what YOU set it to. any emails sent out from vbulletin will use that email address as the return address/contact address.

I'm sorry, but I think I've set the address correctly.
Using vBulletin 3.6.4, btw. Could that be the problem?

Sorry. I am using this add-on in combination with the EZ Bounced Emails add-on. My comments are appropriate to the latter, not this one, of course.

I blame it on waking up an hour earlier than normal and lack of coffee... :o

lol will let you off

i've only personally tested it on 3.6.5, but i cant see why it would be a problem..

Oh heck.. I was having the problem of people complaining about getting emails way too frequently too.. Can someone verify what this setting does?

Email Frequency = 30
How often to send a reminder email once a member has become inactive.

Is that frequency in DAYS? How many days apart to send them? If so it needs reworded. I thought it was how many emails to send them before stopping.

Yes, that's correct. And yes, it does need some rewording - perhaps "Days between reminders" would be better.

Well, i beg to differ - "how often", last time I checked the English language, does not mean in any way, shape, or form "how many"

I should have specified that it is measured in days however, I will hold my hands up to that one.

I don't think "how often" is the part that's confusing people. I think it's the phrase "email frequency".

Frequency "The property or condition of occurring at frequent intervals."


Should i dumb it down for people? I thought that "frequency" was a common word, not some fancy tech talk?

I think a different phrase would likely remove the confusion which seems to have affected numerous people who've installed the add-on. As I said above, perhaps using "Days between reminders" would eliminate most of the confusion (reading the thread would eliminate all of it but you know that's not going to happen for many people).

By the way, congratulations on Mod of the Month for April!
