there is a hack( atleast i think there is) that when you post a thread it has an option to close it after the first post. i don't see why you can't alter that to do what you need....maybe i am worng and unfortunately i can't remember the hack/mod...sorry i will search and post here if i find it. at anyrate i know i have the option when i post the first post in a thread.

secondly i would like to say that i have this installed along with the birthday style and the birthday style hack....works beautifully!!!

omg I just reinstalled it and made me the thread starter and it worked. Maybe because I previously created a Birthday Bot user to do the announcing?

Hi there! First off I want to say thank you for this! What a wonderful idea

I have a small problem though, I have double checked to make sure that I have it going to the correct board, and it is still not there. Although it does show up on the main page of my site in the recent threads module, but shows no forum. When I click on the thread it takes me to an error page, obviously because there is no forum. So, how can I make the thread actually show up in the forum I wanted?

Thanks for any help!

vbbux gives a points donation on birthdays by default.


Question ... does this still create threads for banned members? (or other groups like miserable users)

upload it to your FTP root folder, where all the main FTP files are for the site.
