Thanks for the info, I'll wait for their answer...

The bug report is marked as 'fixed', so it is safe to assume that the bug was part of the VB core code.

Being new to VB, I didnt know the info was cached, which explains to me why the bug was so hard to see.

The VB code fix will be included in the next update.

But if you checkbox the OPPOSITE of what you expect as described in my prior post here, as in my current VB install version, the Birthday Greeter has been tested as operating properly in my install of this modification.

Where is this field? I checked, there is no line in the mod panel. I posted a screen shot earlier so you can see it. Please direct me which line you're referring to??

Thx.

smirkley, here's my screen shot. Which field you are referring to?? Thx.

It isnt on that page, it is in your settings for ...

Vbulletin Options > Forum Home Page Options

Scroll to the bottom, and UNCHECK "Show birthdays for active users only"

The bug in the VB 3.7.2 is that the checkbox works OPPOSITE what is described to do. It will be fixed in the next VB update.

And not having gone thru the modification code for the Birthday Greeter, I cant explain why it doesnt work otherwise, only that after discovering the bug with VB, and doing the above, the Birthday Greeter works once again on my board.

thanks

Ok, I did the above and it still doesn't work. Any ideas??

I made an account have a birthday for today done yesterday in vb and nothing showed today... sigh. Where is the coder anyway.... the mod can't be that buggy or else it needs major reworking. :(

I would not blame the code for this mod just yet.

Just keep in mind, the active birthday member list is cached data, and until you change a birthday for example in your account, the cache is not updated.

My birthday greeter stopped working at the same time everyone elses did too, and all I know is that I upgraded my VB to the latest patch level. After doing some tweaking around and experimenting, I discovered a flaw in the birthday code in vb core script, and has been verified and fixed and will be released in the next vb update.

End result, now my birthday greeter works again.

Albiet through experimentation and workaround pending the next vb update.

If the birthday greeter fails AFTER the next vb update?... I would expect then, that the issue may be in the hack code.

Thank you for the update, I have done the switch as you advised, I will wait and see if that fixes the issue.

Thanks,
