I've just upgraded my test forum to 3.7.3 PL1 and whilst this mod still works, the time the thread is created seems quite random.

I've set the job to create the thread at 1:10am however the thread appears randomly.

Any ideas?

Just installed on 3.7.4 and it doesnt appear to work - least not parts of it. ..

You can edit the title of the thread here.
To edit the message, click here - you can also edit the messagebits.

When I click on those links I get the following ...

No Phrases Matched Your Query

Also > Her you must enter the userid (not the username!) of the user that should appear as the starter of the greeting thread.

I inserted a userID but it doesnt save - when I reload the page the text field is still blank.

I had this on my 3.9 version and it worked great any idea if it works on 4.0?
