vB 4 beta version: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=241224

Paid Subscriptions are a means of driving revenue for thousands of forums but what do you do when a subscription is about to expire? On most forums, if the subscription does not recur automatically, users lose their status and only if they notice a change in benefits do they think to renew. By proactively informing users of their subscription expiration you can help increase paid subscription renewal rates and decrease support inquiries from subscribers.

Notifications Options & Customizations:

The Subscription Notifications System can appear on your Forum Home and/or User CP pages and can display the following messages:

Expired Alert
24 Hour Alert
48 Hour Alert
7 Day Alert
1 Month Alert
Long Term Membership
No Membership

All of these messages can be configured using phrases and customized with HTML code to meet your forum's needs.

Each message is enabled/ disabled through your vB control panel with a link provided to modify the message contents using the phrase system.

Modifications/ Instructions:
Template edits: 1-2
Plugins: 1 (adds 1 template and several phrases & settings)
SQL Queries Added: 1-2

This addon should take under 5 minutes to implement and customize. Note: Minor template modifications are required for this addon to show up (see instructions file for more details)!

Compatibility with 3.6.x versions:

This addon will work with 3.6.x but the admin cp phrase links will appear broken. Users of 3.6.x versions will need to manually search for the phrases to customize.

Updates:
- 12/24/2008 - Minor bug fix to support table prefixes
- 08/26/2008 - Minor bug fix to change expired subscription message.
- 06/12/2008 - Update recent subscriber feature
- 06/06/2008 - Update to fix urls to relative path
- 06/05/2008 - Update to resolve bug with date format and multiple subscriptions

Credit goes to tspore for providing the original idea for this addon.

Version 1.2.2 has been released with a minor bug fix which addresses an issue where the user's subscription has expired and the expired message was not enabled but other messages appear. To update install the new product file. No template changes are required.

This update is recommended.

Is it possible to show the message on the arcade header? I add $submessage on the arcade template, but nothing happens.

At this point it won't work in external systems... You can however modify the plugin file to accomplish this.

Does the expiry notice disappear? I think it's a bit of a pain one member doesn't want to pay up now, but has had the message since May. Can we limit how long they see it?

At this point you can't... how would you ideally like to see this message run (expires after time, lets them close it, etc...)?

Yeah I don't know. I mean I don't want the message to remain there forever as I guess some people won't want to renew subscriptions. If it just disappeared after 30 days or something would be good.
