Hi, Cyb

It is impossible to publish some threads with congratulations at once in 3.8.2
In this version the parametre skip_floodcheck is not used any more.
Instead of it other parametre is used: is_automated

Fix please in new version.

does this include an email being sent to the user on their birthday?

[voglermc]

That's done in vb settings itself

One issue we are having on one of my sites is if the user is 18, 28, 38 etc...

it says something like Age 18) and the 8) gets transformed to type smiley.

I couldn't figure out how to get around this, so I set up a new account to post the b-day messages and put them into a new usergroup that is not allowed to use smilies.... hoping that will fix it.. but no one has a 8 year b-day this month now =P

Well, anyone have any better ideas or have run into this issue before?

[kayskid]

I ran the instructions as provided, but no messages automatically parse for birthdays in the forum I indicated (or anywhere). They do show up on my vba CMPS index page (under Today's b-days), but no new thread is started for them by this mod.

Is it compatible with the vba CMPS mod? I mean - is that something that would cause it to not work?

[dmknights]

Im getting members complaining that they are recieving about 20-30 emails about their birthday!!!

How do i change this?
