is it possible to have the thread closed automatically so it becomes more like an announcement post almost?

This plugin is working for me, but only if I execute it manually in the scheduled tasks. Running automatically it creates only the correct log entries, eg. Birthday "Thread created for x,x,x", but no thread at all. I'm using v1.0.1 of the Hack with vB 3.5.4

What's wrong?

Andreas · #94 03-23-2006, 03:12 AM

I can't fix a problem that I can't reproduce

Though, feel free to send me a PM with all necessary logins (ACP, FTP, phpMyAdmin) and i'll take a look.

In the case of Phalynx it turned out to be this Hack:

Please check if this could be the issue for you too.

Phalynx · #97 03-23-2006, 12:26 PM

Works now for me, thanks.

Roms · #98 03-31-2006, 02:35 AM

Thanks, my members loved this on 3.0.

MysticMoon · #99 04-01-2006, 04:13 AM

Thanks for the hack

No problems installing & it's working perfect.

One question though, on the 3.0.x version I was able to change the post icon used instead of the default, can I do that with this one? If so, can you point me in right direction? thanks

Is this Daylight Savings Times aware? I've had it working great for months. And just today I see it's posted a Birthday thread, but the title of the post it made had yesterday's date on it. Wondering if it has something to do with Sunday's DST change.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
