Inactive users getting flooded with emails.

Hey there,

About a month after people sign up, if they have not uploaded a banner and been approved, they start getting reminder emails. Only, they get about 100 every night at midnight! I've gotten several VERY angry letters about this. What's up, and how can I fix it?

Thanks in advance!

The option to set that inactive users should receive this email is available in configuration. It can be switched on/off.

These emails are sent by the daily job. If each user received multiple such emails, there was something wrong with the daily job configuration on your server. I recommend to use crontab instead of the automatic way, then you can be sure that it runs only once a day. If you can't use a crontab command, make sure that the data directory chmod is 777 and the file time.php in it is 666. These are default permissions but you may modified it by mistake. Please restore these correct permissions, then it will work properly.
