Event Calendar with Email Reminders Functionality Needed

[mruskow]

Hello All,

I have a very specific need.

I am looking for forum software ( doesn't need to be the latest/greatest ) that is both stable and secure from hackers and contains the following functionality :

1) Event Calendar with Email Reminders


I have looked at many of the free options for forums as well as the paid options like vBulletin.

The best I have been able to come up with so far in my internet search is to use an older version of vBulletin ( 3.6.2 ) and this modification : Automatic Calendar Reminders Hack for VB 3.6.2

I am posting here to elicit some help or suggestions for going about doing this the best way possible.

Questions :
A) Is it possible to install this older version of VB in order to gain the functionality of this mod?
B) Is this a safe, stable release of the VB software - or are there exploits which are well known?
C) Is there a more up-to-date version of this modification/hack that someone knows about that provides the core functionality ( Event Calendar with Email Reminders ) that runs on VB 4.2.2 or the like?
D) Any other thoughts, input or suggestions anyone might have to help me on my quest?

Thanks everyone in advance for reading my post and to those who offer suggestions and help!

With Respect,

Mruskow
