Paul,

I'm running vBulletin v3.8.7PL3. I set-up your e-mailing modification a couple of days ago. I then tried validating that it works properly (i.e., early this morning just after 12am EST); which [apparently] it did not.

I retraced the steps in terms of the install instructions:

1) See Screenshot # 1 (change code in admin/email.php file)
2) See Screenshot # 2 (just a note to indicate that there seems to be another instance of similar (but not exact code) for item # 1/screenshot #1).
2) See Screenshot # 3 (change code in includes/functions.php)
3) See Screenshot # 4 (upload mailqueue.php to /includes/cron)
4) See Screenshot # 5 hack by Antivirus is noted on the Plugins & Products Page on my Admin CP
5) See Screenshot # 6 cron-based e-mail hack is noted on the Plugins & Products Page on my Admin CP

Problem #1: when I go into my ADMIN CP, there is nothing in regards to a "Mailqueue Quick Stats" box as indicated by screenshot #7. You had also indicated that the only way that the Mailqueue Quick Stats box would not show up is if the Use Mailqueue System wasn't checked YES. As you can see from Screenshot # 9, it is checked YES. I also went back and checked my own vB Plug-In & Products System section to see if any clues might be there. In screenshot #8, there appears to be missing a check mark. Could this be why it's not showing the Mailqueue Quick Stats box on the Admin CP page?

Update: I checked the box and it's still not working.

Problem # 2: I checked with my web host this afternoon around 3pm EST and they informed me that only 20 e-mails went out over the last 24 hours. This indicates that the e-mail cron job did not work because the e-mail function indicated that I sent out 1,369 messages in batches of 8 (or thought I did). Screenshot #9 indicates my settings in vB E-Mail Options.

Please help.

Bob
