Okay, today is my birthday and my own board did not send me an email! SO I went and checked my settings to make sure I had everything set right for birthday emails, and my birthday and age are public - then I went to look to the option to send birthday emails, and I can't find where it is anymore in 3.8 beta 3. I thought it used to be in the main vbulletin options in admincp, and there was a place to edit the phrase.. now i don't see it anywhere?
what happened to the birthday email option?

I don't think there is an option for it. You either have the Scheduled Task for it on or off. You may want to look at the time it runs. I used to have mine running at 11pm my time cuz my time is different than the server time and I screwed up my time setting.
Please don't PM or VM me for support - I only help out in the threads.

It should be there. It is included in a default vB 3.8.0 Beta 4 install. Make sure that the file includes/cron/birthday.php exists on your server.Translations provided by Google.

I disagree with the principle. I don't think a thing like that should be automated. Isn't it just spam?
We used to get people replying with "thanks" when they had received the birthday email. Obviously they were misled into thinking it was sent personally to them.Comment

It was sent personally to them...and people do reply to those.Comment

When people reply, they too say thanks.
I see no harm in it. But you do have the option....steven
