Only sends birthdays for members with recent forum activity (configurable) 7. Adjusts for forum members time-zone so the greeting will be on their birthday Uses: 1. Creates a Database table to track birthday processed 2. One additional file vBulletin scheduled task (vB cron job) 3. Product installation file Installation: 1.

That's a 15 hour time difference. This is close to the worst case. The members get their birthday PM and Thread on the day of their birthday in their time zone (per what's in their profile).  Kym

If there are multiple members with a birthday on the same day will the mod create a single thread for all birthdays or multiple threads (one for each member)?
One of my larger forum can have 10+ birthdays in a single day, so it would be better if all these were on one thread. No members have liked this post.

I was getting errors in the cron job until I changed this, comma to period:
$forumlist .= ', ',$forum['forumid']; to this: $forumlist .= ', '.$forum['forumid']; No members have liked this post.

Is it possible to have this only post threads for members who have been active in the last x days? Because I can't imagine it working great with my 617000 members lol
