btw .. I take it that this is the latest dev version?

If it is, could I suggest you also release, or change it to, the version before that which used the vB cron system. The reason being is that I always felt that version was the closest to being a working product. Everything seemed to work apart from the cron, which now that any coder can have a look at the problem (including perhaps vB.com coders themselves) it can hopefully be fixed.

From what I remember of the threads at the time if the cron job was run manually it worked, so it was just something within the vb cron system that didn't like running it automatically.
