Miscellaneous Hacks - VSa - Auto Birthday Greeter

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.

NVM , SORRY uninstalled i cant figure out hwo this time thing works , too new to this

I'm having a problem with the birthday being announced around 11pm on the day BEFORE the birthday.
I'm on GMT+0 time zone, would this have something to do with the time calculations? when does VSA - Autobirthday run? i was hoping to perhaps delay it in the schedulaed tasks to later in the morning.

I'll probably do what I was trying to avoid all the time - add file to upload. It will make this working properly, based on forum time, executed once a day. I just need some free time...
