Hi .. :)

I'm just about to implement and try this....

You've used HTML coding, but the sample as delivered in the mod is "plain text". Do both approaches work when mailed to the member?

Is there some way I can test this on a single user (ie: myself), to see what it looks like when it arrives?

Thanks for any feedback...

I'm using version 1.09 of this add-on which does send emails in rich text/html format. If you send a plain text email, the member would need to cut and paste the link into his browser.

That's interesting.....

I downloaded v1.11....

So, if I'm creating an email to use with this version, I should format and use just plain simple text?

.... or, re-download v1.09 and use soething like your elegant HTML email?

Have I understood it correctly?

Thanks

I think it's your choice.

If 1.11 is working for you and you're happy with it, then format the message for plain text.

Some people have found 1.10 and 1.11 to be buggy. To be honest, I've forgotten what didn't work well for me - I reverted to 1.09 which for me has always worked well.

I believfe Chris is still working on an update intended to address the issues with 1.11.

Thanks ...

Well, I'm a virgin user, so maybe I'll go with something that you know works.... :D

I'll uninstall v1.11 and install v1.09, then I'll plagerize some of your HTML email and use it, if you don't mind? :)

Thanks again for the feedback....

Be my guest. :)

Thanks... :)

I think just discovered what the "clarity" chatter was all about in v1.09, which I just installed.... :D

I hope this makes sense.....



I assume I set the cron up to run every HOUR or so?

I have mine set to run hourly. I guess that would depend on how busy your forum is and server resources.

Ok, we have lift off..... :)

Set a couple of test accounts to be over 200 days old since last logged in.....

Went to cron job and said "go for it" ....

One was a Hotmail account which still hasn't arrived... :D I guess they don't like it, or for some reason it hasn't got there yet....

The other was to a regular domain and sure enough, arrived nicely formatted and looking remarkably like your work.... ;)

I reset the cron to send 10 at a time at 16 past the hour and to folks we haven't seen in 90 days. Let's go live...

Thanks again for your help ... :up:

ps: Marked installed v1.09 ....

Hmmmm.. the first automatic cron time came and went, nothing happened....

When I pushed the "do it now" button, 10 emails went out as planned....

Is there something wrong with v1.09 cron job?

I assume I can't out v1.11 cron (PHP) with v1.09?

Thanks
