This hack automatically creates a birthday thread in the forum you select. Only members that allow their date of birth to be displayed will be listed, and age will be shown only for those who has chosen that. Members are shown in colors defined in usergroup settings. You can choose to exclude inactive members. Several users can be set as greeters (used randomly when posting). Thread will be created first time when someone loads forumhome after midnight.

Thanks so much for fixing this ... :up:

Re-installed and testing under 4.04 ...

Seems to be working so far and only one message appeared at this point for a member with a birthday today. We'll watch and see if any more of the same show up ...

Regards,
Badger

Strange... I have a Dutch translated forum. The greeting was always in dutch... But now All english... When I look in the controlpanel at ABG then I see al my dutch translations...

Is this a new bug?

Unfortunately it's still producing multiple threads for the same events.

Looks like I'm going to have to uninstall it again.

Such a shame, as I was looking forward to get this going again.

It's still posting a day early.

For someone who's birthday is on September 8th it just posted a thread at 10:21 PM GMT stating his birthday is September 7th.

I have the same problem with the new version ...

Two members birthdays are on Sept 8th and it posted Happy Birthday notices at 3:43pm on September 7th, the day before ....

I as hoping this latest update would fix the issue with this mod as there isn't anything else like it under vb4.

Regards,
Badger
