I had a strange thing happen to me tonight. I installed the hack on my Windows 2k test server (an offline server I use to test hacks before putting them on my public server - both are identical, but one is on win2k and one is on freebsd).
Anyway - I installed the hack, did all the sql stuff, date verified etc. - I did this around 11:30pm.. so, I only had to wait 30 minutes and figured maybe something would happen.
Sure enough, I got a popup, a ton of PMs, and a TON of forum posts. This on a forum with only 50 some odd users.
What happened was that a message was generated to EVERY user and a forum message was also posted for every user.
What could have caused this? What a mess - boy, I'm glad I don't have that many users yet, even on my test system. I'm concerned that I had it set to option 6 and some emails may have also been generated - even on my test system, they would have gone out (confused users tomorrow)
What could cause this? I do'nt want to post this on my production system until I figure this out.
I verified the date I put in my sql query and it was accurate...
Hmmm...
?
Just FYI: I'm running version 2.2.9 in case that matters. Also, here is one of the Greeting Reports:
