Can an option be given so that this mod creates a post in an existing thread rather that creating a new thread each time?

That would be a big improvement to the mod I think.

This appears to post at 5pm at night, by which time one of my members has already started a thread. Can we make it post at 6a instead? How would i change this?

Not possible with the current version.

It follows server time.

In next version I'll add an option to adjust this (set +/- x hours from server time).

So what time does it post?

It is possible because it's done it 2 days in a row now

Thanks for that report. It would be pointless to use this mod as my users would beat this hack to posting. IMO, it should fire at 12:01am.
