I can manually run the pruning function - no problem - but before I do that I want to know why the daily auto-prune has stopped running.
I haven't made any config changes or code changes in a week or two so I'm puzzled as to why it has randomly stopped.
Give me a bit more time to try and understand what's up - if I don't find anything then I will run a manual prune and 'hope' that it goes back onto auto.

It seems like the automatic conversion isn't working at all.
It is working fine at the moment, last auto-prune was 3 minutes ago.
Maybe it's flaky, but bear in mind that it's pruning based on the time it was sold, it's pruning based on the time of the last post in the trade topic - so for example it's possible to have a trade sold 5 days ago but last comment was actually 3d ago etc.
But at least for me, it Is pretty rare for my trades to got new posts after being marked as sold (generally only when the buyer didn't comment previously and until now, when this happen, they always add the 1st comment on the same day or never add a comment at all..)

Yeah, it's a good to know, but still doesn't fully explain why the auto-pruner being unreliable recently. I need to learn more about cron tasks and maybe moving them onto a scheduler.

Cron is a scheduler. Not one that is prone to not inexplicably run tasks at the intended time at that. It's like the scheduler for Linux/Unix systems. Do you have logs that show that the task actually started & whether it completed?
I'm in CET (Central European Time), so that's UTC+1 normally and UTC+2 during DST.
My profile says Ladder, but I play bothLadder and Non-Ladder.
My profile says Softcore, but I play bothSoftcore and Hardcore.
My Holy Grail Tracker is for Offline Hardcore.

Yep what I meant is having my own server run the cron at set times, as opposed to phpBB's method of having a visit to a page trigger a cron task when it is 'ready' to be run.
Yeah I can see when a cron was due to run, if it ran, when it's next due etc. in my logs.
Oh fair, I didn't realize that's how phpBB does it. Yeah, sounds like a proper cron job might be more reliable
