I'm not going to change it at this stage.
I suggest you create a Birthday forum and have posts all go to one place; that might be easier

The challenge is that in the morning when people log in and click "new posts" it's full of birthday announcements. D. No members have liked this post.

There appears to be an error in the PM that is sent to the users.
The message being sent is: Dear Howard, You have received a new private message at Toronto Subaru Club from Krusty The Clown, entitled "Happy 44th Birthday Howard!". To read the original version, respond to, or delete this message, you must log in here: http://www.toronto-subaru-club.com/forums/private.php This is the message that was sent: *************** *Happy 44th Birthday Howard (http://www.toronto-subaru-club.com/f...ers/howard/)!* *Hope you have a wonderful day, and very best wishes from everyone here at the Toronto Subaru Club. The link to the username is this: http://www.toronto-subaru-club.com/f...ers/howard/)!* It includes the characters: ")!*" which make the url unresolvable D. No members have liked this post.

I only noticed it because it was my B-day the other day and I saw what got sent to users and I noticed the error. Let me know what you need me to send you to correct the PM that is sent D. No members have liked this post.

Hi,
Unfortunately I had to uninstall this from my site. Too many complaints for all the individual threads created each day. The consensus was that they wanted the daily birthdays combined into one post. It's a great mod and I thought it would have been nice to publicly wish everyone a HB for everyone to see rather than just in PM like what the built in function does. However, on my site, I guess some people just don't share the same sentiment. D. No members have liked this post.

Can this be configured to only send a PM? I'd rather not have threads created.
