First off this is Kier's hack and it's a great one. There are other contributors like tubedog.

Update 16-Nov-2001:
Include News Article(s) in bulletin
Optional - Add "Receive Community Email Bulliten" option to the admin CP. When editing a user you can turn on and off the bulletin.
Fixed lasteventdate bug

These changes are based on version 0.98
Changes/Additions
Preview includes html tags
Email is sent in an HTML format
Post to thread is HTML
Updated install to include changes for vBulletin v2.2
Private Forums marked No by default (if accessmask is ON)
Password removed - Link to Forgot your password added

Installation is still the same. If you already have commbull.php installed you can just copy this file to the same location.

(I'm not trying to take any credit for this hack. Just share the modifications that I made.)
Always backup and test.

Thanks...I have users on Macs too and AOL hasn't updated the mac browser for any system software prior to OSX. Hopefully when they get around to it all will be better for everyone. I don't want to try to uninstall this one and then reinstall the text one...I'll mess something up..I just know it. I'll figure something out.
Thanks again

All you need to do is overwrite the modified html "commbull.php" file with the original commbull.php file. You don't need to uninstall.

That sounds easier then making all the other changes too, I wasn't sure. Thanks

.. I'll do that then.

I'm sorry, I should clarify. It works fine in AOL 6 and 7. I've never tried it in a lower version.

fantastic hack

one thing though - do i have to send the bulletin every week or does do it automatically - say every 7 or 10 days

I don't believe it's automated. You have to do it yourself.

cheers

When I change the value in "Number of threads to include in this block" it always generates 5 events in the e-mail. Has anyone successfully changed the value to something other than 5?

The hack is a little buggy!

Try playing around with different blocks, set the first block, leave the second one set to 0, set the third one....things like that.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
