Un-Activated User Management 3

1. Emails users after 3 days and reminds them to activate their accounts.

2. Emails users after 5 days and lets them know their account will be deleted if they do not activate.

3. Emails users after 8 days with a final warning.

4. Deletes un-activated members after 10 days.

it still does exactly the same but this time for vb3

oh yeah, it emails you to tell you who was deleted, emailed so you're always informed.

if you got a big board you can't live without this, it stops the crap from piling up.

anything messes up, i can't take responsibility i'm afraid so back up before you try it.


and now like the days of our youth where everything was free and our mum would have dinner on the table for us, you're done.


[high]this was a fantastic vb2 hack and was made with blood, sweat and tears by Amy, she deserves all the credit for doing a fantastic job and then giving me permission to release this, so please if you install this should your gratitude in her direction as without her it would've been impossible.[/high]

UPDATED: now 3.6 compliant, though needs to be tested quickly to confirm this, it'll either work or it won't but it won't cause your system any problems. BUT IT DEFINATELY WORKS PROBLEM FREE ON ALL 3.5.X INSTALLATIONS. Also note new option for turning on the adminemail in the admincp vboptions bit.

Indeed, I was getting mails since hour 23 was at the forums.
But then, when I set:



Doesn't it send out mails every day at 23:25h then?

maybe someone who can make a correct screenshot of the cron setup?

If you have users waiting to be moderated after three days then you should probably review your working methods.

I really suggest informing users on how to set up the cron job, or taking this to the next level and having the product add the cronjob automaticlly.

Also setting the cron job to Hour 23 and minuetes to 0(the first box on the left) doesnt this run the cron job every day? The hack is supposed to do this only X days so how is it possible that this operates the way stated?

I believe there might be another problem with the script. I have installed it yesterday and it has deleted about 1000 of my members. Everything looks good in the Usergroups > Usergroup Manager, from the 1000 Users Awaiting Email now there are only 56.

The problem is on the forum's main page at Site Statistics. There, the number of members hasn't been changed. Maybe you could look into this. And in the mean time somebody tell me what's the table db vbulletin fetches the Site Statistics from, so I can adjust members number there

thank you

Use the update counters function in the matience menu of the admin cp and update counters. Use the Update usernmaes or perhaps rebuild the forum ststaistics.

it doesn't count unactivated users as members does it? if that's the case you wouldn't need to change anything.

Any word about a vBulletin 3.6 version?

It gives a database error when running the task with it (vB 3.6).
