Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Move inactive users to new usergroup

This modification is no longer available or supported.

If a member has not visited the forum for a defined number of days (180 by default) then they will be moved from their existing usergroup to another usergroup (this can be any existing usergroup, however, you should really create a new 'Inactive users' group - esp if you use the auto-restore option).

Only members of a defined list of usergroups are checked for inactivity.

If a member of the inactive usergroup returns to the forum, and auto-restore is enabled, they are automatically restored to another defined usergroup (by default this is usergroup 2, Registered Users).

Note: The move of inactive users is done once per day as part of the daily update cron job.

Sweet...I prune every 30 days so this will help the administrators out tremendously and keep them from having to search for non-active members...

Hi,

thanks, great mod. A general question: is it possible to keep the members of the inactive group from increasing the total of the user-counter at the bottom of the forum?

thank you - all the best,
Sacha

Nope, vb will always count them, no matter what usergroup they are in.

I wish i noticed this sooner. I tried doing the job manually a few weeks ago and accidentally turned all the banned members into inactive members. *installed* Thanks as always for yet another nifty product!

I will be using this to easily identify members who have not been active for over 90 days.

I can send my regular news letters only to those who visit the site at least semi regularly.

I can every 6 months or so try to get back the people who did not come back (and the inactive reminder e-mail at 2 weeks didn't work...)

Great mod....... is there a way to also delete all PMs upon being moved to the inactive group?
Many thanks

Btw, Is there any option to view which usergroup does these users earlier belonged to ?

[Paul M]

Nope, no record is kept of that.
