Sandy,

I have the same problem. I do not know why it happens (what Yahoo looks for and moves our e-mails to the "Bulk" folder, but what I did to help diminish the consequences, was to put a note about this issue, in the screen the user gets, after he/she registers. It's one of the phrases, called "registeremail".

At least, with that message, a Yahoo user knows where to look for the activation e-mail.

ahh! I LOVE this hack, i've been wanting something like this!

i just noticed that the postings here stopped, did this get moved, removed, not supported any longer? i'm just curious...

i am running 3.03 and noticed this is for 3.01 and have a problem when running the vBcron script...

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/hpoa/public_html/community/includes/adminfunctions.php:223) in /home/hpoa/public_html/community/includes/functions.php on line 2716

I have only run this manually so far... and that's when i noticed it. it cleaned out about 200 un-activated members... :D yay!

ok, now have the "fixes" been applied that speak of users that are just changing their email address', it will not delete them correct? and finally.. i'm not getting any logging or emails.... this seemed to be where the posts in this thread stopped... can anyone clue me in ?

thanks!

Aaron

Aaaron,

Check your code again, there should be a mistake somewhere.

I am running the cron job and it works OK.

hmm, i just noticed something... while playing with this hack... when it sends a email it doesn't go into the junkmail folder for yahoo....

anyone know what this sends differently? I would like to apply that change to my main vb activation and other emails... it's really annoying that they go into the junkmail folders for users....

also, are thes lines supposed to be commented out?

//$globaltemplates = array(
// 'ActivationEmail_v2_Subject',
// 'ActivationEmail_v2_Message3',
// 'ActivationEmail_v2_Message5',
// 'ActivationEmail_v2_Message8',
//);
//

updated this

What did you change in it, sir? ;)

And please don't forget to update it at my site. ;)

added a chdir to make sure it worked even if your forum aint in your root directory and added a line of code to log the crons :)

Why make extra work for yourself. Instead of deleteing it, edit the existing Activation Reminder Email cron job to point to the manageActivation.php file instead of activate.php. When you select the cron time you want it to run at, choose a time that your board is at its slowest activity.

hey, i got the update, but am still having problems :(
