UPDATE!
As most of you may have figured out, I no longer support this mod. I have put the download link back up and it will stay that way for as long as it takes for someone to take this thing over. This mod is covered under the GPL so, have fun. I also will attempt to help you if I can but keep in mind I haven't worked with snitz in about two years now!

Nice, but what exactly do you mean with inactive. Do we talk about "0" poster?
I donīt need a forum full of n/a's |

On 3.3.xx version you can hard code the boundry criteria in days like 30, 60, 90, 120, etc., and for those members who are inactive outside of that boundry, you are given the choice to email them or delete them if I remember correctly. Maybe Wes can post a screenshot of what it looks like now. It really is a nice addition to have.
Thanks Wes for the MOD!

| In the new version, it is no longer hard-coded (except for the default setting). There is a form to input your "Inactivity" in days. If you don't want "n/a's" all over your board, just set the inactivity period out to match your archive timeframe. |

Maybe?
Couldn't you delete the user and update the users topics and replies with a (existing) dummy user ID.

it's not fully snitz 3.4 compatible because it does not use the getCurrentIcon function for the images icon_email.gif, icon_profile.gif and icon_trashcan.gif.
also, the folder listing at the top of the page (All Forums, Admin Home, etc.) does not use the getCurrentIcon function.
change it and it is a nice mod.
just my 2 cents... |

I've never heard of the getCurrentIcon for the images can you explain the useage? What else would a mod need to have in it to be 3.4 compliant? I haven't seen any documentation on anything like that. I personally think its a nice mod anyway  |

I didn't know that use of that function was a requirement for releasing 3.4 mods. I must have missed that one in the manual. |

3.4 uses the getCurrentIcon function. look into inc_iconfiles.asp to see the list of used icons. have a peek at any admin page - near the top - to see how they code the icons using the getCurrentIcon function.
it is a nice mod, that i would have to agree! |

Thanks, I'll check it out. None of my 3.4 mods use it at all.
Thanks crash!

User= Richard K. 
MemberID = 400
If you decide to delete this user. The existing topics and replies get "n/a"
Now if I have an existing user:
User= Anonymous
MemberID = 56
and with this Mod delete user 400. I would like to change the memberID 400 in the existing topics and replies to memberID 56. This way you don't get "n/a" but "anonymous".

Nice mod, thanks! Without the getCurrentIcon function, if the images are in another folder other than the default, they don't get picked up. Thus the missing images on admin_inactive_users.asp. I just changed each of the three paths manually to:
/images/forum/icon_whatever.gif
where I keep my images, and voila! I don't know enough to try and incorporate the getCurrentIcon function anyway!
