    yes i know (before anyone says it) i keep brining up this site

    Re: Event reminder

    I happen to hate most vB sites, but I'll take a look

    Whats a PPS ? Not sure what you mean.

    There is a system inplace that pops up a message on the forum home page when it is someone's birthay, assuming they havn't set "keep birthday private". It can be set to show up in the events calendar too but I think that would look messy.
