Well... I went from 2.5.4 and went straight to a 2.6 release
Prolly had something to do with spending 8 hours doing nothing but working on this code hehe
2.5.5 was created in the interim and not released as while working on some bugs I made some huge breakthroughs in what I wanted done for 2.6... which is the coexistance with thread subscriptions as well as the user options for not getting their own posts and (if the admin allows them to) users can select to not be autosubscribed.
Check my third post in this thread for details on how the coexistance with thread subscriptions work.
I'm undecided at this time if I'm going to try to work thread subscriptions to let yu reply via email or not. It could require ALOT of file editting in the functions_newpost.php file which I'm trying to avoid as many file edits as possible.
All in all, I'm excited to feel like this may be my final version for awhile with the exception of working on the last confirmed bug of it not handling japanese characters
Several have asked for the cron jobs not to depend upon vbulletin traffic to work.
I'm really not up for writing something that intensive... it would involve creating a queue system as well as trying to teach people how to create cron jobs on their server... yeah.. not my piece of the pie
Plus I'm very happy with the way that this works with vbulletin. My forums typically have 1-2 visitors on them at a time right now and it's still working great.
The point of this is NOT to replace vbulletin. I want to encourage the users to come to the forums and hopefully eventually weed them off the mailing list lifestyle and into the forum lifestyle so to speak
In anycase, I do have a script that could run by cron job, but it still uses vbmail which requires traffic to activate vbmail and send the emails.. so.. hey.
You could modify it to use regular php mail but I would prolly advise against it as it could crash a server if you tried to send off 1000 emails at once!
Enough babble... hope you enjoy the latest version and donations are certainly appreciated
Thank you!
