I am not sure why or how I just checked and I am using this https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=177931 .. it never stopped working since vb3... and is working perfect to vb4.1.10 not promoting this mod and all and no disrespect to valter he has provided great mods for everyone
I have this marked as installed but must be on a test site..I will have to look to see if I can see what the issue is great mod all around

[Dwarden]

unable get it to work (tried several proposed fixes in the discussion) with 4.1.10 ...

errors like

1 member is celebrating their birthday on %b %Europe/Berlin %2012:

the problem exist in
latest version of this vSA mod, the K's fix and even the old Cyb version

[Valter]

What's your time/date settings?

[Dwarden]

Style & Language settings is set = English (24 hour time)

[Valter]

AdminCP > vBulletin Options > Date and Time Options > Format For Date

It should be something like: d-m-y

[Dwarden]

so that value is

m-d-Y

Great Mod! I added it just in time for my Son's B-day, installed fine no problems and I am using 4.1.10

[Gato]

I have the same problem that many people have, in my Date and Time Options i have
"d-m-Y" for date and "H:i" fot time.

The problems is this: When i change that options, they change in the VSA Chatbox, and not works in the Auto Birthday Greeter. (This systems post like %d and not the date)
When i change that options for function with Auto Birthday Greater, they not show in VSA Chatbox.

I can do it work in one script or in the other, but not in the two at the same time.
Any idea?

This does absolutely nothing on my forum... tried the fix in the comments, and still nothing.. didn't work with 4.1.10, still doesn't work with 4.1.11.. uninstalled, and reinstalled.. still nothing..

My other mods include:
auto you-tube parser
digital point thread avatars
seven skins image resizer
v3 arcade
vb pro garage
vbh add new tabs
vsa chatbox
usml advanced toplinks

could any of those be causing this not to work?
