[Zero Tolerance]

The newest member is stored in a serialized array, this only contains username and userid, to allow for that to have the usergroup settings, the array would need to be changed to contain the usergroupid, or an additional query been executed.

Birthdays however, can be done, these edits will be a bit tricky, as we have to override the cache..
Anyway in index.php, find:

$birthdaystore = unserialize($datastore['birthdaycache']);

UNDERNEATH Place:

require_once('./includes/functions_databuild.php');
$birthdaystore = build_birthdays();

Save & Upload index.php

Now open includes/functions_databuild.php
Find:

	$bdays = $DB_site->query("
		SELECT username, userid, birthday

After This Place:

, usergroupid

Now Find:

if ($todayneggmt == $day[0] . '-' . $day[1])

Above This Place:

$username = fetch_musername($birthday);

Next step, go to your forum index page, hit refresh, this will rebuild the cache.

Now re-open index.php, find:

$birthdaystore = unserialize($datastore['birthdaycache']);
require_once('./includes/functions_databuild.php');
$birthdaystore = build_birthdays();

Replace that with:

$birthdaystore = unserialize($datastore['birthdaycache']);

Save & Upload index.php

This is to stop the reloading the data each time, the cache has been updated with the HTML Markup, and will now appear

Enjoy,
