Un-Activated User Management

although i know this works manually, it's untested via cron

1. Emails users after 3 days and reminds them to activate their accounts.


2. Emails users after 5 days and lets them know their account will be deleted if they do not activate.

3. Emails users after 8 days with a final warning.

4. Deletes un-activated members after 10 days.

it still does exactly the same but this time for vb3

oh yeah, it emails you to tell you who was deleted, emailed so you're always informed.

if you got a big board you can't live without this, it stops the crap from piling up.

anything messes up, i can't take responsibility i'm afraid so back up before you try it.

[high]wol stuff been removed due to the fact this should now be in the cron directory and thus won't show up anyway[/high]

and now like the days of our youth where everything was free and our mum would have dinner on the table for us, you're done.

[high]this was a fantastic vb2 hack and was made with blood, sweat and tears by Amy, she deserves all the credit for doing a fantastic job and then giving me permission to release this, so please if you install this should your gratitude in her direction as without her it would've been impossible.

the two critical bugs that a/ it wasn't sending the activationid and b/ it was deleting users who didn't change their email correctly, have been squashed by Psico[/high]

v2.1: Boofo killed 2 bugs
v2.2: more bugs killed by Boofo
v2.3: bugs killed by psico
v2.3a: bugs killed by sv1cec
v2.4: changed activation code when one exists already removed (sv1cec)
v2.4: better cron logging (me)
v2.4: table prefix bug found by jlurken, fixed by moi
v2.5: email reminder sent to your inbox thanks to sv1vec, improved logging, removed redundant code.
v2.5.2: fixed table prefixes.

[high]YOU WILL NOW NEED TO EDIT THE FILE TO MAKE SURE IT WORKS, IT'S CLEARLY MARKED ON LINE 21[/high]
