Findings
I can now send to the forum

using thread and newthread without adding the extra ] on the end.
My main problem is now is the cronjob. Maybe i am doing it wrong but i cannot get the mail to be delivered without manually running the cron job twice from within the VB control. I have also tried to run the job from my web hosting CP neither work.
I have also noticed when creating a new thread i noticed that it does not bring the title in the conformation email
I have tested the following and all work fine
