Hi Cyb I am a fan of your modifications as installation is a breeze and I have no issues with them at all. However in this case this one is installed on 3.6.8 and I set it to show posters:

Required Post Count (Leave "1" to alert zero-posters only)
Optionaly increase this number to alert other inactive members

- I set this to 50 and members that have been active state:

On the top of most pages on this site I get a message that I haven't posted for 707 days. But I have posted at least 5 message in the past 10 days and they have appeared in the forums just fine.

I have changed that setting back to 1 to see if this keeps happening.

Any ideas? Cookie setting?

Hi flindersredclaw,

No, this has nothing with the cookies.

If you increase "Required Post Count" you may also wish to customize message which is shown to users. You can write something like "X, you are registered member for a Y days now but your post count is still very low...".

Example:
Set "Required Post Count" to 50
Set Delay to 30 days

If member is registered for a month and has less than 50 posts then message will appear.
