I couldn't get any of the scheduled tasks to work and just recently found out the problem, it seems according to the vbulletin docs scheduled tasks wont run if the board is set off, how can i make the Scheduled Tasks run while the board is set off? There has to be some kind of easy way to edit this?

The board is set off so only private members can access the forums.

Thank you in advance for any help.

Kind regards,

Cem

PS: The board is very active, even if it's set off.

I probably have to add $cronimage somewhere on the front "offline" page?

I basically only need Scheduled Tasks for the Subscriptions to move the expired members back to their old usergroups, can i just make a cronjob on my server which runs the file ./includes/cron/subscriptions.php ?

Is $cronimage still in the footer template?

Yes it is.

Yes it is.
I would have thought they would still run on an active, although off, board. Can you run them manually in your admin cp? Maybe run them all and then see if they start up again on their own.

Thank you for the reply, i ran them manually and they work like a charm. Only problem seems to be that they wont run automatically, because the forum is set off.
