Paid Subscriptions are a means of driving revenue for thousands of forums but what do you do when a subscription is about to expire? On most forums, if the subscription does not recur automatically, users lose their status and only if they notice a change in benefits do they think to renew. By proactively informing users of their subscription expiration you can help increase paid subscription renewal rates and decrease support inquiries from subscribers.
Notifications Options & Customizations:
The Subscription Notifications System can appear on your Forum Home and/or User CP pages and can display the following messages:
Expired Alert
24 Hour Alert
48 Hour Alert
7 Day Alert
1 Month Alert
Long Term Membership
No Membership
All of these messages can be configured using phrases and customized with HTML code to meet your forum's needs.
Each message is enabled/ disabled through your vB control panel with a link provided to modify the message contents using the phrase system.
Modifications/ Instructions:
Template edits: 1-2
Plugins: 1 (adds 1 template and several phrases & settings)
SQL Queries Added: 1-2
This addon should take under 5 minutes to implement and customize. Note: Minor template modifications are required for this addon to show up (see instructions file for more details)!
Compatibility with 3.6.x versions:
This addon will work with 3.6.x but the admin cp phrase links will appear broken. Users of 3.6.x versions will need to manually search for the phrases to customize.

To be able to easily mass PM the folks whos Subscription has expired would be great. TO have the system PM the members who had subscribed in the past but are no longer active - would be great. One of the sites I help with is transitioning from manaul maintenance of a Club Membership system to trying to use the Subscription system for the payments and the status - It would be awsome to me able to better use the systems for that purpose. Off topic a little but its surprising that the members whos subscription recently expired cant see the expired status. Can see that the subscription was active last month for example. Current subscribers can see thier status and expired subscribers can resubscribe BUT they cant see the date when their last subscription ended
But it seems like if a member had a paid subscription before which expired, and now has a different one it always shows the 'Less than one day'-message. Is there any way to fix this?
Something isn't working properly - one of my members gets this message 'Your subscription expires on Sat, Nov 47 2008. Thank you for supporting Mummybrain.com.'

Try this file and let me know if it works properly for this issue.
