Regarding the problem I had...
Could it be an old bug?
I have read all the posts of this mod, and found 2 other people who had the same problem.

Those errors should be fixed already. Also, did you drop in these fixed files?

What happens if a inactive user reads the mail, decides to log in again and then in a while becomes inactive again?

Thanks,
Stefan.

They would get only one email regardless. Here's why:
  • If only sending once
    • Get members that have been inactive and have never received a inactive reminder.
  • else (Send emails more than once based on the following criteria)
    • Get members who have become inactive and have never received a reminder.
    • Get members who have been inactive and have not received an email since the last reminder was received. This is based on the number of days set in the frequency at which reminders go out ("How often should we send reminder email" setting.
    • SendReminders
  • If admin reminder report is enabled
    • Send Admin reminder report
That's all there is to it. Any questions?

In other words...

If you set the grace period for them to become inactive 60 days from their last activity date. On their 61st day they should get a reminder if they've never received one. This will set a flag so that the next time they become inactive for 60 days they won't get anymore emails if the mod is set to send only one email.

If set to send more than one.. same as above except the mod will look to see if they received an email previously.. and how many days it's been. For instances. If they have been inactive for greater than 60 days, let's say they have been inactive for 150 days and you have the "How often should we send reminder emails" setting set to 30 days, they should recieve an email every 30 days within that 150 day period which would be 2 times (150 - 61 = 89 / 30 = 2.966).

Make sense?
