Now just so that your aware he Quoted my post back in December 2009 and mentioned that some of the current issues would be fixed in a few days in December 2009 ...

Now were going on 6 months later and were all still waiting for these fixes to be made!
Just tell us have you stopped working on this project???

Thanks!

well his last login was january 2010, so..i dont think we'll see him anytime soon..

I am also waiting of the repair from the double birthdays bug that is on my forum.

I also have the double birthday postings problem, except today it posted the same birthday 3 times.

I can't see anything in the coding that would cause it either.

I'm back after a looooooong hiatus and will look in to the issues posted here as well as update the plugins for mybb 1.6

I remember looking through the code myself back when I was active but don't remember seeing anything specific that would cause this problem but with a number of users having this problem, I'll find some way to fix it.

Ah good to hera you are back really need this plugin again i loved it just dont want to install it untill you have given the all clear

Good to see you back G33K. Today the plugin posted 6 threads for the same member. I'm wondering if it also 6 e-mails, which I am guessing is probably the case.

Here is v2.2 of the plugin, finally. This is mostly a bug-fix with very few new features. The features requested will be implemented in future releases.
I have tried to stop the double posting problem, however since I can not reproduce the actual problem on my test boards I am having to work with what might be the problem theoretically and can only count on you who had the problem to test and let me know.
