Info:
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.

What about the wonky date issue? It's frustrating to see someone get their birthday greeting on the right day, but with the actual shown date one day behind.
What if I have myself as one of the ids to be the poster and then my birthday comes up. Does the mod know not to choose me as the greeter if it's my birthday?
Ok, had a problem with this mod, the first one I've had since starting to use it both on v3 and now on v4.0.4pl1 ..
For some reason, yesterday it posted 40 posts (two pages) saying "Happy Birthday" to the same 2 members...
The posts seem to be arriving every 10 minutes or so....
It's as if the cron job kept cycling, even though it had already made the single post it should have for each of those 2 members.
Anyone ever had this happen to them?

I had to disable this 3 months ago because of the wrong time and multiple posts. It seems to have started after version 2.0.1 was released. My members miss the auto greetings.

Well, it's been posting repeating messages all day, almost every hour ...
I don't think it's compatible with 4.04 ...
I even completely un-installed it and re-installed it, but still the issue remains ....
I hate to uninstall it, but without a fix it's going to drive everyone crazy ...
Yes I get multiple threads created as well. I am using vBulletin 4.0.3. I really like the sound of this mod but I am going to have to disable and uninstall it.
Anyone know if there is another mod around that will do this?
