I have a problem with the task scheduler, it does not work. I have many tasks that are saying the next run is to be December 16, 2012. Yesterday I manually ran my RSS feed poster, that is the only way it gets run if I do it manually from the task scheduler. Is there an setting that can be set for it to do an catch up when it misses the scheduled time.

Thank you for your reply in advance.

You are likely to have any incorrect settings for task. Can you print screen that task's settings/edit task page?

I have attached the image for the rss task, besides this one all the other tasks in the task scheduler do not run. The others are all at there default settings that the installer set at install time.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Paste your footer template here, you may be missing the code that triggers the tasks.

This is the footer from Striker Destiny the theme that I am using.
Log Pruning & Mass Mail are the only ones that have done anything.

Thank in advance for your assistance.

The template seems to be fine. But please note that for the task to run/trigger, someone has to be active on your board at that time. If no one is present on the board (no matter what page it is unless it doesn't have footer template included), the task will not run I believe.

Lets assume an task is to be run the next time at 10:30pm on December 24, 2012; no one is on the site until December 27, 2012. Are you saying that it will never run again by the task scheduler once it is missed on the scheduled time? If this is the case then there is an serious problem in how MyBB handles an scheduling case as I just presented.
