Upgrades and Cron Settings

[JamesBrown]

After every upgrade I have to go back and reset all my customised cron timings. Is there any way to avoid this. Thanks

How have you added those customised cron timings?

You shouldn't directly customize crons associated with a particular add-on (in this case, "XenForo" is an add-on). It's worth considering creating your own cron entries with the changes you need.

Hi Mike, the main one I change is user group promotions, we have paid subscriptions and members get impatient if they pay and then have to wait 20 min for the cron to run. Because of this I have this set to run every two minutes. Then I upgrade and forget, next thing I see a moan, "I've paid but I'm still read only" Then I remember, I haven't reset the cron.
