Same thing with me. My time zone is GMT, but it didn't post the thread until 1845hrs!

It also included a couple of people whose birthday is on the following day, but are on the opposite side of the world.

It's such a shame, as it could be such a good modification if it worked well.

Hi valter, can you please check why the mod is spamming the forum ? i mean yesterday the mod created 12 threads for 2 members i have in my forum. First it created double threads for every member, but then when i deleted the double threads , the mod created another 2. It kept doing it until the mode created 12 threads . I'm not sure if this has something to do with the last 2 updates on the 4.0.2 Pl 4

I installed it on April 1st and it went bloody nuts. Threads were EVERYWHERE!

Everyone assumed it was an April Fools joke and that's what I'm letting them think. Unfortunately I have since disabled this hack.
