Not limited by product.

Just list them separated by commas.

They are used randomly.

Thanks and I confirm this is working like it used to in 4.02...
I was curious however....
What steps would be needed to run this via cron?
My forum tends to be a bit quiet during the winter (boating site) and the forum may be unvisited a day or two....

Is there a way to change the message to make it more genuine rather than bland like it is?
