Problem with Scheduled Tasks

[Intex]

Scheduled tasks don't seem to be running any more. I understand that one of the main culprits for these not to run is the lack of $cronimage not being present in the footer template.

I have numerous styles and every one has the $cronimage entry in the footer. It doesn't matter which style I choose (even the original vbulletin 3 style), the tasks just don't run. To my knowledge the $cronimage just calls for the clear.gif file in the fourm root. This file is present.

Where else should I be looking to identify the problem? My website is about to go live and obviously this is a bit of a problem, so any help would be appreciated.

Yes, a completely valid answer GeekyDesigns. But it's been working before and I'm on the site all the time, which should be activating a task if it's due every visit to a page. But for some reason it's stopped working.

In fact, I've been looking through my change log and I think I've found why. This could be a bug in vB 3.0.1, but I'll check first and report back.
