Check Usergroup Settings: Under Username HTML Markup

thanks denman75 that worked

Bug found. When stating more userid's, the birthday messages gets posted by "Not Registered".

This is what I'm talking about:
Greeter(s) (comma separated UserID list) -> 1,5,6,7,9,11

As long as I only put 1 in there. The thread will be started by Admin.
If I put a list in there like in the example here, the thread will be started by "Not Registered".

Which brings me the same time to the question... What is this Greeter(s) line supposed to do? You can't start a thread by multiple users anyway, correct?
