Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Un-Activated User Management 3.1

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. If you install this you should show your gratitude in her direction as without her it wouldn't have been possible.


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.

Features:
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.


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.

You are correct... I use both. Here's the correct one:

hey djbaxter, this thing is spamming me! I set it to do the corn job every 8 hours (you have it set at 6 hrs) and It sends out spam emails like it sent me 6 reminders everyday from 3Am - 4AM.

look at the attachments





people will get very annoyed. one email in 3 days is okay, another in 5 and 8, but so many everyday cant be good.

Sorry. I'm not the author of this add-on, just a user. I don't know why you're getting that result. I have it installed on 2 or 3 forums and that doesn't happen for me at all.

Added: Oh I see your problem.

Where it says "Minute" in the scheduled task, set the first one to zero and ALL other ones to "-".

Ah! I see I missed that Zero! Okay added that thanks. But what happens by adding this zero? whats the function?

And a big thanks for all your help :up: really appreciate it

If it's 0 it means it runs at the top of the hour... it can be any number from 0 to 60.

But the important thing is to set all others to -. The way you had it set it was running every couple of minutes during the hour, which is why you got multiple emails.
