I have more than 50,000 registered users on my forum, and I send them all my community newsletter every few weeks. However, vBulletin's "Send Email to Users" feature requires you to set a number of users to email at once. Even setting this option to 1,000 requires me to sit in front of my computer and wait for roughly an hour, clicking the "Next Page" button 50 times!!! Is there no way to automate the clicking of the Next Page button, like other "en-mass" vB features?

This would really save me a lot of time! Thanks for your help and comments.

vB's bulk mailing features are really, really poor. It would make more sense to simply export the e-mails to a flat file, and then use a third-party application (I recommend WorldCast).

Yes, I've started to realize just how bad they are. Is WorldCast free, or is that just a trial version you get to use? Can anyone else recommend bulk mailing software?

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