          Turning this option 'OFF' means that the scheduled task (cronjob) will be completely useless, it will not do any work at all. Only new & edited posts will be checked if activated in the following settings.
          Options: [None | All Posts | Thread's First Post]

        • Check Edited Posts (http://go.phpkd.net/en/product/vblvb/)
          Should edited posts be checked live (on real time)? If yes, then which of it should be? Only thread's head (first post), or all replies as well?
          Turning this option 'ON' may cause users with low/limited internet connections to have some issues and may not be able to post, specially if their post contains many links to be checked.
          Options: [None | All Posts | Thread's First Post]

        • Maximum Checked Links Per Post
          How many links should be checked per post? If any post contains more than that defined limit, then those 'over limit' links will be ignored & will not be checked; only the first X links (as defined here) will be checked. Enter "0" for UNLIMITED.

        • Critical Limit/Red Line
          Posts can be punished because of high percentage of dead links within. Define the "Critical Limit/Red Line" percentage here as a positive integer value (without any symbols). This "Critical Limit/Red Line" is the percentage that if dead links reaches or exceeded within a post, then that post will be punished.
          Notes & Examples:
          • "10" means if dead links within a post reaches or exceeded 10% of all included links it will be punished. If a post has less than 10% of dead links, then it will pass as valid without punishment.
          • "0" means that all links per post should be valid & alive (no dead links allowed, if just one link is dead the post will be punished); While "100" means the opposite, it means that all links within a post should be dead to be punished, that means if there is only one link alive & the rest are dead, the post will pass as valid without punishment.
          • If any post has only 5 links within it to be checked, that means each link represents 20% from all checked links. It means also if only one link is dead & you have set this setting to '10%' the expression will evaluate as true & will punish that post since it has 20% of dead links.

        • Check Succession Period
          Successive checks for same posts can be separated by a certain period of time, so those 'checked recently' posts did not checked every time the script runs. Same posts can be checked multiple times, but with at least 1 day between each two successive checks. Define how many days should separate each two successive checks for the same post, or enter "0" to check posts ONLY ONCE. Note: "14" means your checked posts will be checked again every fourteen days (two weeks). "0" or a high Value usually recommended specially for large boards.

        • Checked Posts Per Batch
          It is recommended to define a specific low number of posts to process in each run to prevent any possible timeout or Memory/CPU exhausting during the execution process. A Lower Value usually recommended specially for boards that has long posts with many links. There is other important factors that have strong affect as well such as: "Time/Date Cutoff Mode", "Time/Date Cutoff Value", "Check existing posts", "Maximum Checked Links Per Post", "Check Succession Period"; So please take care & try to set a logical acceptable value for each of these settings to avoid any expected/unexpected issues. You are the best one who knows your board & you are the one who can determine which suits you & your board according to your board's activity/content/requirements.
