VSa - Auto Birthday Greeter · **Released**: 02-16-2010

Here are my settings:

I have no idea where NTCOLOR comes from. It only shows up as a result of the auto birthday greeter, no where else.

Use CSS. Change:

- opening tag to:

Code:

<span style="color:#0000FF;font-weight:bold;">

- closing tag to:

Code:

</span>

- 'User title' to:

Code:

<span style="color:#0000FF;font-weight:bold;">Modding Guru</span>

Change red part to color code you want to use for selected usergroup.

What about the wonky date issue? It's frustrating to see someone get their birthday greeting on the right day, but with the actual shown date one day behind.

What if I have myself as one of the ids to be the poster and then my birthday comes up. Does the mod know not to choose me as the greeter if it's my birthday?

Installed and received a happy birthday email.

But for some reason there is no happy birthday post on the forum.

Anyone know what is causing this issue?

Installed on vBulletin version 4.0.3

Thanks.

Ok, had a problem with this mod, the first one I've had since starting to use it both on v3 and now on v4.0.4pl1 ..

For some reason, yesterday it posted 40 posts (two pages) saying "Happy Birthday" to the same 2 members...

The posts seem to be arriving every 10 minutes or so....

It's as if the cron job kept cycling, even though it had already made the single post it should have for each of those 2 members.

Anyone ever had this happen to them?

Regards,
Badger

I had to disable this 3 months ago because of the wrong time and multiple posts. It seems to have started after version 2.0.1 was released. My members miss the auto greetings.

Well, it's been posting repeating messages all day, almost every hour ...

I don't think it's compatible with 4.04 ...

I even completely un-installed it and re-installed it, but still the issue remains ....

I hate to uninstall it, but without a fix it's going to drive everyone crazy ...

Happy birthday Badger

CybaGirl · #**111** 07-04-2010, 02:20 AM

Yes I get multiple threads created as well. I am using vBulletin 4.0.3. I really like the sound of this mod but I am going to have to disable and uninstall it.

Anyone know if there is another mod around that will do this?
